520 "Depression confuses the mind, strips away hope, and
causes people to blame themselves for an illness they
never asked for. This book presents a revolutionary new
understanding of the concept of depression and offers
readers skills and strategies to manage it. Mood disorders
are now seen to form a spectrum of problems, from common
depression on one end to full bipolar disorder on the
other. In between these extremes are multitudes of people
who are on the middle of the mood spectrum, and this book
is for them. The first part of the book helps readers
answer the question, "Where am I on the mood spectrum?" By
laying the foundation for understanding this spectrum,
Aiken and Phelps highlight the key distinctions that
define unipolarity, bipolarity, hypomania, mania, and
depression. Readers will be able to discern which
definition best fits their experience, and use this
understanding to learn which treatment methods will work
best. The authors also empower readers to look beyond
antidepressants. They walk readers through new medications
for the mood spectrum, and offer a guide to non-medication
treatments that anyone can use on their own, from diet and
lifestyle changes to natural supplements. The book also
discusses other innovative technologies that can aid in
recovery, including dawn simulators, mood apps, and blue-
light filters. This thoughtful and beneficial book will
offer readers skills and strategies, as well as hope, in
the face of debilitating mental challenges."--Jacket
