Thanks, that was genuinely insightful and hopeful. Strangely I've just started looking into that world (live or die right...the hardest advice ever given)
and I am becoming hopeful. Most psychology based "depression books" are caricatures of trumped up po-dunk wisdom. They are sad at best. But "Undoing Depression" seems unusually promising (Perhaps in the league of The Noonday Demon, or Styron's work even) it is about a psychologist who documented his own slow recovery using meditation and mindfulness his terrifying, hopeful words are "Depression is measurable brain damage but for some amazing reason it is Brain Damage that can heal"
