The CURE for depression

I used to be severely depressed and non-functional for many years. I discovered on my own that Nutrition is the most important thing to cure depression. It's especially important to eat fresh fruits and vegetables. So learn a lot about nutrition! The second thing is to deal with your psychological issues. I recommend reading many, many self help books until your psychological issues are all resolved. I am 100% cured of depression now and very busy running my own business! And I did it all myself by eating very healthy food and reading many great self help books!

Drugs and talk "therapy" are NOT the answer. THEY DON'T WORK!!! THEY CURE NOTHING!!! They only make MONEY for the psychiatrists and psychologists! Books are SO MUCH better than worthless "therapists" that just sit there uselessly and listen to you talk and refuse to answer questions or give advice. These people are only interested in making a living! If they cured you, then they'd stop making a living, wouldn't they? So it is in their best interest NOT to cure you! And I have found in my experience that they truly do NOT want to cure you, they have no intention of curing you, and they expend no effort in looking for any cures!

interessant mais lacunaire

Un commentaire sur un livre qui a ıtı ınormıment vendu: DSS propose dans son livre une mıdecine des ımotions et l'explique en proposant 7 mıthodes alternatives ı la mıdecine classique: la dısensibiliation par les mouvements oculaires (EMDR), la rıgulation du rythme cardiaque, la synchronisation des horloges biologiques par des simulateurs d'aube, l'acupuncture, l'exercice physique, l'apport en Omega-3 et le techniques de communication affective. Ce livre est interessant car l'approche de cette mıdecine qui ne dissocie pas corps et esprit est malheureusement rarement comprise par la majoritı des mıdecins, pour ne pas dire ignorıe. Ce livre est en soi une ouverture et j'espıre qu'il va continue ı faire remuer le milieu mıdical pour que les mıdecins cessent de se focaliser sur la maladie comme si elle ıtai une entitı differente dela personne.
Le livre a ses lacunes: la place accordıe au Qi est plus que lıgıre, la candeur de DSS devant ses dıcouvertes est surprenante surtout de la part d'un psychiatre qui a fait de la recherche fondamentale en neurosciences cognitives. La rıdaction est claire, mais ses exemples manquent parfois de rigueur et de synthıse.
Merci de rappeler que la santı est un ıquilibre: ce sera peut ıtre une dıcouverte pour certains mıdecins mais espırons que ce livre aura les rıpercussions qu'il mırite.

Lots of fascinating and well-researched information

I tend to be a bit skeptical of self-help books because I have seen so many sloppy "new-age" versions, but this one is definitely on a different plane. Using the workings of the limbic (emotional) brain as his organizing principle, the author covers the therapeutic effects of diverse topics, from acupuncture, exercise, diet, light therapy, enhancing communication skills, and community service, to the lesser known practices of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and cardiac coherence. All of the chapters are very well presented with generous reliance on scientific information and studies, so that even being a skeptic accustomed to picking apart scientific literature, all the approaches struck me as at least worth exploring. Because many of these therapies are inexpensive, take time to explain, and are not capable of being patented, the business and medical establishments tend to underplay them. Many a time I have gone to the doctor for some problem or other, and left with a prescription for a medication that gave me side effects worse than the underlying condition. If this book were taken to heart, many people who go to their internist with symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, and pain, would get a prescription to exercise and meditate, instructions on how to eat more beneficially for their brain chemistry, and advice on how to reduce interpersonal conflicts. Even if you're not depressed (I am not and bought the book for someone close to me), it is a fascinating and rewarding read, and suggests many ways (some extremely simple) in which we can enhance the quality of life for ourselves and those around us.
