書籍簡介

《走出抑鬱:讓藥物和心理治療更有效(第2版)》的作者Richard O'Connor不僅是一位經驗豐富的心理治療師，他本人也曾是一個抑鬱症患者；童年時，還曾親眼目睹母親因抑鬱而自殺。因此，他對於抑鬱症有着超乎常人的深刻理解與感悟。在他看來，抑鬱症不僅是基因、生物化學因素以及環境共同作用的結果，要走出抑鬱，更需要擺脱“抑鬱的習慣”。在不知不覺中，抑鬱的人會漸漸變得“擅長”抑鬱，學會了如何隱藏它，如何以它為中心安排一切生活。抑鬱的人或許可以成就非凡，卻必須在抑鬱的泥潭中不斷掙扎。這使我們永遠無法真正康復，無法從心底體驗喜悦。但是我們可以打破從前的習慣，學習一系列全新的健康技能。最終，我們一定能夠將抑鬱從生活中抹去！

Like heart disease, says psychotherapist Richard O'Connor, depression is fueled by complex and interrelated factors: genetic, biochemical, environmental. In this refreshingly sensible book, O'Connor focuses on an additional factor often overlooked: our own habits. Unwittingly we get good at depression. We learn how to hide it, how to work around it. We may even achieve great things, but with constant struggle rather than satisfaction. Relying on these methods to make it through each day, we deprive ourselves of true recovery, of deep joy and healthy emotion.

UNDOING DEPRESSION teaches us how to replace depressive patterns with a new and more effective set of skills. We already know how to "do" depression-and we can learn how to undo it. With a truly holistic approach that synthesizes the best of the many schools of thought about this painful disease, O'Connor offers new hope-and new life-for sufferers of depression.
