GENTLE ON MY MIND - A slow sensitive approach to recovery from mental illness

I am writing this book as someone who has witnessed the symptoms of severe depression at first hand and subsequently made some study of the subject. It is an attempt to try to help both the person who may be so frightened by the way they are feeling at the present time and/or someone who is observing a loved one showing acute signs of distress and hopelessness. This book is aiming merely to offer hope to sufferers of depression and their loved ones and as a straw to clutch whilst striving to find the way to look forward once more and to find some meaning in life. The ability to take pleasure in the things in life which can bring us joy however small alongside a committed effort to cultivate distractions to stop us from focusing on those things which we know will bring us darkness is the way to leading a happier life.
