Unnecessary cursing

I really enjoyed the contents in this book. It was very insightful and informative. My only negative is it was a lot of cursing that I believe but not that necessary. I felt like she just threw curse words in just to throw them in.

on point

helped me gain some insight on what depression is and made it easier to explain to someone who hasn't been diagnosed with bipolar depression.

Not as good as 2 books written by same author!

Gives the facts about all kinds of depression within a somewhat cut and dry and boring overview. The presentation was not what I expected after reading two previous books she wrote on the brain and on anger which were direct and factual but also were at times funny and entertainung.

great insights

the more it is that I'm learning from these books the more I need.

Thought it was gonna be touchy feely

I thought it was gonna be about depression journals and touchy feely...although a short book...it did have great info and suggestions....and her writing style made me feel really comfortable like a friend who us really smart is talking to me about deppression and possible solutions. Great book...because she talks in an every day way swearing and all....it made believe in trying out the suggestions even more as if a friend was helping me then if I heard the same thing from an author who seemed far away from the subject and you are being treated by a professional who can't relate and you are a patient and they are just doling out a cookie cutter prescription to. I appreciated that most from the book.
