Description
Depression is the world's most common mood disorder, spreading like a viral contagion. Research now supports that moods spread through social conditions, making depression a social problem rather than a medical illness. Our social lives shape our brain chemistry and affect the way we think and feel. By changing our social circumstances, we can improve our brain chemistry and overcome depression. Dr. Michael Yapko argues that depression should be treated at its root, by building social skills and improving relationships, rather than just addressing its symptoms with medication. This book provides practical exercises and examples to help readers identify key social patterns that reinforce depression and learn the skills to overcome it. With a hopeful and realistic approach, Dr. Yapko offers a plan to halt the spread of depression and prevent new episodes. Filled with practical advice and illustrative examples, Depression Is Contagious investigates the social phenomenon of depression's epidemic-like spread and offers a more realistic road to recovery.
