Back to the Light

If you feel drained, sad or empty, or if the things you used to enjoy no longer mean anything, this book is for you. Depression is a real health condition, not a weakness, and it can be treated. You don’t have to climb out of it in one leap: you can do it with small steps, one at a time.

This practical, compassionate guide helps you understand what you are going through and gives you simple, science-based tools you can use at home alongside professional help.

What you will find inside:

What depression is and how it differs from sadness

The most common signs and symptoms

Why it happens and how to break the cycle that keeps it going

How and where to get professional help

Activation: how to move before you feel like it

How to recognize and question heavy thoughts

Habits for better sleep
