Creativity: The Best Therapy for Depression

I have been BD II for more than 60 years and sincerely believe anyone with a mental illness which includes depression needs creativity in their life. It not only improves one's physical and mental health, it reduces self-generated stress and moves the individual toward the sought-after goal of balance and stability.

This book is a conversational guide, an INVITATION to every person who has depression problems to seek, grasp, and nurture his or her creativity. There are no "shoulds" in the book, so the reader has no way to inject feelings of guilt for non- or poor- performance.

We who have major depression issues are unique in many ways and creativity is the best therapy (aside fgrom medication and psychotherapy) to periodically move us beyond coping with our symptoms to provide us periods of time we are able to distance our daily problems which come with our mental disease.

Almost all of the material in the book has been gathered from the publications of licensed medical and creativity professionals. I have include a full bibliography should anyone like to check or read the original material from which I have chosen insights. My talent here is to organize the information and create what I hope to be an easily accessible platform for the reader.
