Depression is a common and important public health problem most often treated by GPs, Psychologists and Psychiatrists. A self-help approach is popular with people suffering depression, yet little is known about its effectiveness. More work is being undertaken to investigate the cost-effectiveness of self-help and the most suitable format and presentation of materials. There are a number of self-help books for the treatment of depression readily available from a variety of sources including local book shops and your local library. As well as the hard-copy written word, resources are now available in e-books, CDs or videos. At times, depression may reduce your ability to concentrate and absorb the material you are reading and the prospect of reading a whole book may seem too daunting. In this case, you may find that local newsletters or shorter articles may suit you better or you may find a friend to assist you with working through the reading material you have. It is important that you discuss the material you are reviewing with your healthcare professional as it is possible the material may conflict with the modality of therapy your professional is using. If this is the case, it may impede your progress, however raise those things which you have found relevant to you - they may open other avenues of therapy which have not been considered previously. Always read/purchase depression related material from a reputable source. Click on the link below to source depressioNet's available depression related books.
