The Depression Cure: The 6-Step Program to Beat Depression Without Drugs - Stephen Ilardi

"The Depression Cure: The 6-Step Program to Beat Depression Without Drugs - Stephen Ilardi" written by Stephen Ilardi is among the best books about depression. Depression rates have risen in your modern, fast-paced culture, and this is not by chance. Stephen Ilardi, Ph.D., reminds you in "The Depression Cure" that our minds and bodies were not built to function properly with bad sleeping and eating habits and excessive work hours. He takes readers back to basics, using examples of depression-relief techniques inspired by populations like the Kaluli of Papua New Guinea, who have been untouched by modern technology.

Ilardi is an associate professor of clinical psychology at the University of Kansas who studies mental health and depression. His Therapeutic Lifestyle Change (TLC) method is based on years of clinical research. It focuses extensively on lifestyle adjustments for antidepressant benefits, such as physical activity and social connection.
