amycooper Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression-and the Unexpected Solutions by Johann Hari
Fuller review to come after I read this book, but it is definitely worth picking up. First of all, it applies largely to anxiety as well (and he says so within the book). His writing is clear and well organized, he references numerous studies which he cites clearly in the back. And quite frankly, so much of it resonates both with my own anxiety issues and with the things I have found helped (and also makes some sense why both medication and Cognitive Behavior Therapy failed to help me at all...even made it worse!) Though I'm not finished nor ready for a fuller review, I am ready to recommend that you put this on your reading list, even if you don't suffer from either depression or anxiety.
