Depression is reversible. It does not have to be tolerated as a life-long condition. There is a reason for hope; there is a path to recovery — and this book can help you find that road to renewal and wellness.

Causes of depression arise from experiencing at least four of ten factors: Genetic, Developmental, Lifestyle, Circadian Rhythm, Nutrition, Toxic, Addiction, Social, Medical and Frontal Lobe.

Only two of these factors cannot be reversed. Therefore, depression is a highly treatable condition for many, if one is willing to do the work.

This book is filled with colorful charts and lists to make important points easy to find. Thoroughly documented references. Everything comes together to help the reader identify the specific causes for his or her own condition and gives a host of new tools to aid you on your road to recovery.

Neil Nedley, M.D., internist, author, researcher, and lecturer, has responded to a chronic need in America–the need for an updated and definitive work on the subject of depression.

Through his ongoing study of the latest scientific research related to diseases of the mind, combined with years of clinical experience, Dr. Nedley committed himself to finding the source problems that cause depression rather than just anesthetizing the symptoms with medication. In his now familiar, easy-to-understand writing style, he provides an in-depth comprehension of the body’s physical, mental, and spiritual functions, and every finding is extensively documented with research references.

This book begins with an explanation of the brain and how it works, with an understandable description of depression in its various forms. In successive chapters, explanations in laymen’s terms are given that reveal it to be more than a mental illness; its many causes are identified, along with the effects it has on the human psyche, and the important role nutrition and lifestyle play in managing and overcoming this malady.

Dr. Nedley next examines the role of herbs and medications in the treatment of depression: their benefits, side effects, and the best way to successfully discontinue them. Considerable space is also devoted to the role stress plays in causing depression and to adequately control it.

The information in the concluding chapter shows the unique role of the frontal lobe of the brain to every aspect of mental health, and exciting, new ways to strengthen this often overlooked area of power. You will read about his successful 20-week cure that has brought relief to so many of his patients.
