Healing Depression without Medication by Jodie Do Skillicorn

What if everything we thought we knew about depression-and how to heal from it-was wrong?

Many antidepressants-the first line in our standard of care for treatingdepression-bring with them potential health risks, yet 1 in 6 Americanstakes medication to alleviate feeling sad, anxious, stuck, or unable to focus orsleep. More and more, conventional medicine pathologizes how we respondto life's challenges-like feeling trapped in an unfulfilling job, grieving thedeath of a loved one, or being anxious about a bad relationship-telling usthat they're symptoms of disease.

Psychiatrist Jodie Skillicorn presents a new path, debunking the mythof the neurochemical imbalance and exploring the roots of depression,such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and poorly managed day-to-day stress. Evidence-based and fully supported by current depressionresearch, Dr. Skillicorn's holistic methods for beating depression-includingnutrition, mindfulness, fostering meaningful connections, exercise, sleep,nature, and breathwork-empower readers to become agents of their ownwholeness and healing.
