Reviews

What is depression? What are the symptoms? Who 'gets' it? Can it be cured? Schwartz, herself a sufferer, begins by answering the first two questions. From this general definition and overview, she follows with a more detailed discussion of the types of depression and other mood disorders. She then discusses coping mechanisms (unhealthy and healthy), approaches to controlling depression, and places and organizations that offer help. Writing directly to teens and young adults in second person, she attempts to engage with their questions and concerns. . . .Chapter notes are thorough and extensive. * Booklist *
