This book is written from a Christian perspective. God, church, and fundamental Christian values are an integral part of the therapeutic method. If such an approach is not appropriate for you, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK.

While this book may help some people, an even better book is Dr. Carolyn Dean’s book The Miracle of Magnesium. Here is a quote from Dr. Dean’s book regarding magnesium in the treatment of depression: “With proper amounts of magnesium, nature makes sufficient serotonin and you experience emotional balance. But when stress depletes magnesium, a vicious cycle spins out of control and depression can occur. The body needs magnesium in order to release and bind adequate amounts of serotonin in the brain. The pharmaceutical industry has focused its research for the treatment of depression on serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Prozac to capitalize on serotonin’s chemical effects instead of giving serotonin what it really needs — magnesium…Magnesium deficiency is a potential cause for every type of depression. All treatment protocols should begin with adequate doses of this valuable mineral.” If you are suffering from depression, I beg you to acquire and read Dr. Dean’s book and take supplemental magnesium daily as Dr. Dean recommends. You may find that this important nutrient is the solution you have been seeking.

I was 69 pages into this book before it began to reveal itself as a Christian-Based therapy book and not a book based on reason and rational thought! It should clearly (honestly) state in the title or first chapter that it’s a Christian book. Why keep it on the down-low if its a legitimate form of therapy? (Unless you are totally comfortable about hoodwinking people into your own personal agenda!) I feel like I was defrauded out of $16.00.

I haven’t gotten all the way through the book, but so far it’s a good resource. It addresses the different ways you can be depressed and helps you identify where you stand with it. Still, I don’t think any book by itself is gonna solve your problems. You need a doctor you trust, too.
