Description
'Things can't be all that bad', 'pull yourself together', 'Snap out of it'
These are some examples of a widespread misunderstanding of depressive illness. It is an ignorance found amongst Christians and non-Christians alike.
Over recent decades the numbers of people in society suffering from depression has risen dramatically, and it is an issue which friends and relatives have often failed to understand to the detriment of their relationships. This is a state of affairs, which Elaine Brown seeks to change.
The misunderstanding and stigma surrounding depressive illness makes it harder to bear for the sufferer than a physical complaint - leaving them feeling alone and isolated in their experience. This despite the fact that depressive illness affects so many! Elaine Brown's account of her experience is therefore such a blessing, a message of hope and re-assurance to all those engaged in such a struggle, cutting through the isolation so many experience.
If you seek to help a loved one struggling with depression, you must read this book. If you are struggling with depression it's a valuable source of comfort.

Reviews / Votes
'Light on a dark night of one soul. Elaine Brown will blush to read this but those who read the story will find it to be true.' -- Tom Houston 'A brave book full of practical help us well as some very deep spiritual insights. There are not many people brave enough to write a book in such detail but Elaine's honesty and openness will bless many, as I myself have also been blessed.' -- Jennifer Rees-Larcombe These booklets are from a new series which aims to give basic information and advice in relation to issues of life. Elaine Brown's book is her personal story, majoring on how she coped with clinical depression. She does not tackle the medical issues, but rather tries to give the reader an understanding of what sufferers go through. The couple of pages of tips at the end are useful. -- Paul Cavill, NB (UCCF) Book ReviewsMore details
