As many as 50% of people who recover from depression will experience relapses. This book will help you understand the cycle, give you the tools and resources to deal with the stage you’re at, and ultimately teach you to be happy despite life’s imperfections.

From the publishers:
"Over 50% of the 17 million Americans who sufferer from depression will have at least one relapse. 25% will experience more than six. After each bout of depression the likelihood of another episode increases, and about 66% of sufferers report fleeting depressive symptoms between full-blown episodes. Despite this, few of us think of depression as an episodic illness and even fewer recognize that staying free of depression is as important as treating it when it hits. Now, for the first time, readers have an essential tool kit for avoiding relapse.

In Ending the Depression Cycle, Peter J. Bieling and Martin M. Antony provide a breakthrough guide for preventing a recurrence of depression. They show readers how to:· Recognize and chart their depression cycles;· Keep stress from triggering a depression episode;· Understand medication options; · Cope with the anxiety that often accompanies depression;· Develop healthy lifestyle habits that help keep depression at bay; · Overcome perfectionism and self-criticism; and· Use mindfulness techniques to stay emotionally balanced.

Depression is at an all-time high in the US, and while stories of those who have “conquered” it and gone on to lead dynamic lives abound, the truth is that depression is not like chicken pox: You don’t become immune to it after it heals. Ending the Depression Cycle gives readers the skills they need to keep this recurring illness from recurring."
