A new book has been written out of the interviews used to create the Healthtalkonline depression website. "Recovery from Depression Using the Narrative Approach" explores patients' stories of depression, recovery and useful treatments. Drawing on the interviews for healthtalkonline, this book examines the therapeutic value of engaging with personal stories, or ''narratives,'' to capture the experience of depression and options for recovery.
In this way, readers can gain greater insights into depression, self-management and long-term recovery. In addition, the author investigates just how effective ''recovery tools'' such as talking therapies, yoga and complementary therapies, as well as conventional medical approaches are in aiding recovery from depression.
