Climbing Out of Depression

Being depressed often leaves you feeling paralysed into inaction. Climbing back out of the pit of gloom seems almost impossible. You need help, and that is what this book offers - practical, humane and spiritual help. Sue Atkinson has suffered years of depression herself. She does not write as an expert on depression or as a depression counsellor, but as someone who knows the feelings from close personal experience. As a result, her book contains a varied menu of hints, quotations and illustrations, not page after page of unbroken text. This is a book to dip into as fits your mood and need, making a dependable guide to the climb.

“'This is wise stuff, with resonance that lingers on long after it is over, none more than the hope it offers, born of experience.'”

Ann Pilling, The Door 'Should be required reading for pastoral carers of anyone suffering from serious bouts of depression.' Western Evening Herald
