Wonderfully lighthearted - Rated
As said above, this book is incredibly easy to read and is wonderfully lighthearted. It gives a more amusing side to a dark subject and is easy to keep going back to particular bits you want to go over again.

My favourite part of the book were the illustrations, perfectly placed for each chapter and making it so much less daunting. An excellent read, highly recommended.

Lifting the lid on depression - Rated
This book explains simply and clearly how depression creeps up and what to do to get out of it. It outlines our basic needs as human beings, which if unmet, can lead to depression - which just seem so obvious when pointed out like this. The book is positive and practical, listing 5 things to do straight away - each of which quickly start to make a difference. I found it very helpful as it is short and easy to read, with brilliant lighthearted illustrations. I read it in one sitting and have been dipping in ever since.

Depression demystified - Rated
I've read several books on depression, and this one is by far the easiest to read. The author demystifies depression, and explains how to begin to tackle depression in 5 straightforward steps. Many books on depression leave you feeling more depressed afterwards, but this one gives a big glimmer of hope.

I'd recommend it to anyone, and you don't need to have a degree in psychology to understand it. The practical tips on how to tackle depression are excellent.

A fantastic read. The book also gives some website addresses for further reading, which I thought was great.
