Growing from Depression by Neel Burton was an interesting read and I was hoping it would help me, as I suffer from Depression.......This book was a challenging read for me and it did kind of help to remind myself I am not alone.
There are other people around the world maybe going through similar experiences like me with grief, infertility, child abuse and bullying just like me etc. I have to keep reminding myself, life can and will get better. Just don't bottle it up. Talk to people who are close. If they love and care for you they will be at your side and help you everyday when things get tough!!!! Best wishes to you all out there You re not alone. x

I recall while reading Burton's book, "Heaven and Hell", how I wished he was able to sit with the chapter on depression for a few more pages. Growing from Depression is just that! I was sucked in from the introduction. Anyone's that suffered from depression understands how frustrating it is when well-meaning loved ones insist that we just get over or rid of depression as if it were that easy. This way of thinking I believe can drive one deeper into depression. The thought of growing from depression inspires hope and gives new meaning to this debilitating dis-ease. I was delighted to see his emphasis that being depressed doesn't make someone a loser or attention seeker. No one would choose depression and when more of us begin to see it much like the warning light on the dashboard of our automobile, a signal that something unseen is amiss, I believe we'll began to lose the stigmas.

Growing from depression helps us to understand depression along with providing ways to help cope with depression and to grow from it. As someone who has suffered with depression and anxiety and who's partner and family members have also suffered with depression, I found this book incredibly helpful and comforting. Depression is an awful condition that makes you feel completely withdrawn and isolated from those around you. This book helps to remind you that you are not alone and that other people are going through similar experiences and life can and will get better.
