Overcoming Depression For Dummies, UK Edition (ePub)

Up to 1 in 5 people in the UK suffer from diagnosable depression
(bbc.co.uk) - that's approximately 12 million people.
Depression takes multiple forms, including seasonal affective
disorder, bipolar disorder, and postnatal depression. Research by
the BBC claims that up to 75% of sufferers are not receiving any
form of professional medication or therapy, which strongly suggests
that self-help is often a preferred course of action.
