Beating Depression 4CD’s and Workbook

“BEATING DEPRESSION offers a pragmatic and

holistic approach to recovery for both the person

living with depression and their carer.

The seven strategies are comprehensively

detailed, and offer clear next steps, and

encouragement to action. I particularly like the

guidance on how to encourage a reluctant person

to seek help and how to find good mental health

professionals.

Graeme’s personal story, research, and

perspective add credibility and gravitas to the

overall message.”

Psychologist
