MY REVIEW
Our society is finally raising the awareness of mental health, and its impact on our culture. More and more we are reading in the news the impact that mental health has on the rise of homelessness and mass shootings. As of help have been various public figures who have acknowledged their own struggles in this hidden area of our lives. Margaret Lalich’s recent book, “Overcome Depression” is at the spear head of understanding an illness that impacts the lives of 30 – 40 million Americans. And in particular those who have been impacted by a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). “Overcome Depression” is a practical read that provides a strategy to follow for those afflicted with depression due to injuries to the brain.
The first seven chapters are pretty heavy on brain science and understanding what the physiological features of the brain are and why they function as they do. Margaret teaches the reader, “the structure, operations, and the incredible integration of body, brain, and mind in one connected, dynamic and interactive system.” In what I consider to be the best parts of the book she offers “Strategies” at the end of every chapter. These strategies are very practical tools/ideas on how to battle depression and are applicable to everyone whether they have a brain injury or not. The reader will come to appreciate the high value that Margaret places on Scripture and prayer as tools in dealing with depression.
“Overcome Depression” offers a nice mix of science, coping strategies and tips on how to respond to our environment. I’m not sure how wide of an audience this book will reach, but for those who have been impacted by depression due to a brain injury this book will be a godsend!
