I am pretty sure i have read this one long ago;
i may be confusing Dr. Burns with another book
"Moodswings" but i doubt it, as the latter is
mostly on lithium. This one used to have a yellow cover with cute cartoons. It was very common-sense.

I am certainly not against such popular books for
coping with depression and life crises. However,
once put on a medication, these books are soft
therapy, and you dr. will not take you off your meds once you have read and understood the book.

Still, they are helpful, and i have quite a few.

When i rave about drug therapy, i am referring to
the very psychotic states, where you are wasting
your words on the person in another mental state-- best to medicate, stabilize and then talk.

The mystery is, whether you can take the person off the meds after and get to a pre-medicated, pre-depression, pre-schizophrenic, or pre-psychotic state. I think our medical overloaded health care system, just doesn't have the time or resources to do that.
