Healing From Depression, overcoming anxiety,self-help books, mental illness

In the fall of 1996, author and counselor Douglas Bloch suffered an adverse reaction to an anti-depressant that plummeted him into a major depressive episode. For the next ten months, he was assailed by out-of-control anxiety attacks that alternated with dark, suicidal depressions. Each day felt like an eternity as he struggled to stay alive in the face of overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and despair.

In this groundbreaking book, self-help author Douglas Bloch shares his struggle with and ultimate recovery from a life-threatening depressive illness. He offers a practical "survival plan" for living in hell-which he adopted until a group of committed, loving people held a vision of his recovery which lead to a spiritual healing.
