What does it mean to be depressed? Most people recognize depression through a series of symptoms, such as fatigue, despair, or a sense of futility. But depression is also an indication that something in our lives is not going well and needs to be addressed. However, we often tend to ignore depressive emotions instead of listening carefully to the messages they send about the quality of our lives.

This book can be an important opportunity for personal introspection and, as a result, can alleviate depression and contribute to a better quality of life.

Each chapter analyzes a different aspect of depression, proposing self-therapy without chemical substances. Depression, in fact, can become a catalyst for redefining life priorities, a step towards consciousness, or an opportunity to eliminate unpleasant aspects of daily life. It can also be the beginning of better management of mental pain and loss, thus strengthening our defense against similar situations.
