Lifesaver by Upeksa (USA)  5 Stars
July 16, 2009
I have read many books on depression and have no hesitation in describing Bloch's book as the best on the subject. I first read excerpts from Bloch's book after being hospitalized for major depression. The book gave me enormous hope that I could learn to live with depression, and practical strategies/tools for coping. He presents the most realistic picture of what it is like to live with this disease. I highly recommend this book.

Excellent book on Depression & Anxiety by Heidi (Junction City, KS USA) 5 Stars
September 05, 2005
This book was very easy to read. It was helpful to know how the author felt during his depressive episodes and how he managed his symptoms. I learned a lot about the different Depressions (and its symptoms). And how to find help and support while I am battling my Major Depression and Anxiety. I feel that I am not the only one who suffers from Depression. The Depression and Anxiety rating chart is an excellent idea and it helps me track my moods on a daily basis.

Thank God For This Book by G. Reid (Roseland, NJ) 5 Stars
June 13, 2005
Thank God for this book. I am going through hell with anxiety and clinical depression. This book has coping strategies. I think most readers know something about clinical depression. Yet it is the combination of clinical depression and anxiety that is so devestating. This book attacks the combination.
The hardest part is that one can't stop when in this sickness. The only solution is to keep going. Hence, the perfect title for this book which is "When Going Through Hell, Don't Stop." If one stops, then one drowns in the condition.
