“It is reckoned that up to 2.6 million adults in the UK alone suffer from depression, and that it costs the economy in the region of £9billion pounds per annum both in treatment and in lost work days. And yet, most people don’t really understand what depression is, what the difference between depression and feeling a little blue or what the symptoms are.

This is a subject I’m absolutely passionate about. When I was a medical student, I became depressed and ended up in hospital myself. I learned a lot and have tried all the ideas in this book, can vouch for them and have seen them work for many of my patients.” Dr Sabina Dosani.

What its about.

Depression is greatly misunderstood.

Those that admit to suffering from it very often feel ashamed. Those that have never suffered from it think it’s all a matter of “getting a grip”. Here for the first time is a book written by a psychiatrist which offers a full understanding of the condition and practical, tried and tested techniques to help overcome it. Whether for you, or someone close to you who suffers, Defeat depression will prove invaluable.

Sabina reveals:

• The importance of a good night’s sleep

• How to raise your self-esteem

• Ten foods for good moods

• The pills and potions to avoid and those that work

• Who can help you beat the blues

• Nature’s best anti-depressants

• How self-help and group therapy can work for you.
