Self-Help for Depression

David Mann

This guide for people with depression is divided into 12 chapters, the contents of which can be classified as follows: - Chapters 1 to 7 provide important information about depression, - Chapter 8 covers self-help options, particularly self-care and self-efficacy, - Chapter 9 focuses on medication treatment, - Chapter 10 deals with relapse to depression, - Chapter 11 deals with the need for and planning of psychotherapy. - Chapter 12 deals with the relatives of those close to us. As can be seen from the list, the guide covers all the important aspects for those with a depressive illness. The individual chapters all follow the same clear structure: - A quote - Detailed elaboration of the chapter's main topic. - A summary of the most important points - A description of the effects or steps the person should take or follow from what he or she has read. The intent of the book is to encourage readers to treat themselves more consciously. The chapters are all written in simple, understandable language and are very enjoyable to read. For readers who have less time or are more "lazy readers," the very structured division of the individual chapters allows them to read only their summary and the steps to be taken from it. The main chapter "What you can do - self-care and self-efficacy" covers the following relevant aspects: - Hygiene of life with regard to nutrition and sleep - Gratitude - Value-oriented and meaningful action - Coping with feelings - Self-irony and self-compassion - Importance of sports and exercise - The role of relationships - Learning to switch off and give up excesses - Ways to lighten the mood As mentioned, all of the topics mentioned above are key elements in the treatment of depression and can also be read individually, depending on your needs and interests. However, given its manageable size, we recommend reading the entire book, which provides a comprehensive but concise overview of relevant and useful topics for the treatment of depressive illness.
