Reviews for Growing from Depression, second edition

A comprehensive, sympathetic, and thought-provoking guide for those who want to explore their depression in more depth. --The British Journal of Psychiatry This book brings understanding and encourages independent solutions. It is remarkable in its shortness and practicality. --The British Medical Association Book Awards Dr Burton understands depression to be a unique experience for each person affected and offers various ways of interpreting the disorder... Particularly interesting chapters include 'The happiness trap' which considers why happiness has not increased in the past 70 years despite increasing incomes, and 'Depressive realism' which turns the concept of depression in many cases on its head. --SANE Mental Health Charity
