Healing Your Depression: A Catholic Perspective

Description

With a Foreword by a Capuchin priest and friar, this 2nd edition faith-based self-help guide is written by a health science researcher from both a Catholic and a health science perspective to reduce and even eliminate depression from your life. It examines clinical depression and healing through participation in church activities, making constructive social and behavioral changes, and the prudent use of the nation’s mental health care delivery system. Topics include descriptions of the mental health professions and professionals, selection of care providers, major therapeutic modalities, prescribed psychotropic drug use, journaling activities, university counseling centers’ responsibilities, and quality-of-life and happiness issues. Positive psychology is emphasized throughout the text.
