Description
Depression is a physical illness caused by malfunction of the limbic system, the brain circuitry which controls many of the body's processes, such as sleeping-waking cycles, temperature control, eating patterns, hormones - and mood.

This book explains the workings behind depression, and how to tackle this debilitating condition. Topics include:
What may trigger a depressive episode
What to do when you get ill
