From this point of view, his advice is good for anyone with a chronic illness which causes them limitations and requires them listening to their body – it’s one of the best descriptions of pacing I’ve found. Recommends common sense approach to treatment with solid focus on taking care of oneself as a vital part of treatment. Obviously, it is just one person’s philosophy about depression and its causes and cures, so should be treated as such, but I found it very helpful.

Those who did see People Just Do Nothing, who know that Mustafa, Stamp and Chegwin all wrote and starred in it together as deluded weaklings running a shambolic pirate radio station, will know that the trio have spent five seasons of their show honing the dynamic that powers any number of great sitcoms: men whose opinion of themselves is hopelessly at odds with obvious reality. It helped me better understand my own behaviours and things that can seem very frustrating to the sufferer and supporters.Please continue to have it available to readers; it is truly a life saving and life improving treasure!

Depressive Illness: The Curse Of The Strong by Tim - WHSmith

Oh, and remember to relax every now and then, because modern life places stress on your limbic system, which is the ultimate cause of depression. I think each of these threads makes sense of some aspect of my subconscious, and hopefully I can get more out of counselling sessions with this background. Quite short, and at times a little simplistic, but a valuable book nevertheless which I shall certainly dip into many more times, just as I already read some sections several times along the way. Depressive Illness – The Curse of the Strong is an essential book around clinical depression and should be read by all those interested in mental health and mental illness.

Consumer text presents depression as a physical illness and explains what happens in the human body to cause depression. It really assuaged my guilt to hear the author's stance on those who continue to put others first and work extremely hard during their recovery. Depression will recur if lifestyle changes do not occur, as the Client’s lifestyle leads to the illness in the first place. To that end, his book, Depressive Illness, The Curse of the Strong, highlights his model of depression and gives realistic, real-world solutions to overcome depression. Secondly, he states his own theories and beliefs about the biological side of depression as though they were undisputed scientific fact.
