Recognising Clinical Depression

We all have our 'down' days occasionally, but clinical depression is quite a different ballgame, with persistent and sometimes severe symptoms which can bring about a significant deterioration in quality of life, impairments in day-to-day functioning, and even risk to life. Up to 20% of people will suffer from depression at some point in their lifetime. This little book aims to demystify the disorder a little further, by identifying the many possible symptoms of depression as well as summarizing known causes and recommended treatments.
