"This book has saved my life," say thousands of people who have changed their lives forever after reading Depression: The Way Out of Your Prison over the past decade. Depression is the experience of a terrible isolation, of being alone in a prison. But by understanding how we build the prison of depression we can dismantle it forever.

Dorothy Rowe gives us a way of understanding depression, allowing us to take charge of our lives. She shows it is not an illness requiring drugs but a defense we use to hold ourselves together when we feel our lives falling apart. This best-selling book, now in its second edition, contains the stories of people who have changed their lives by conquering depression for good.
