Publisher's Synopsis
Hope is a Verb will change your perception of clinical depression. The author chronicles, with raw candor, the insipid nature of depression in her childhood followed by decades of psychotherapy, electro shock treatments and psychopharmaceuticals. Beyond the storytelling, the author offers a reflection of deeper truths, insights and wisdom gained at the end of each chapter. What separates this book from other works on depression is that it was written in the grip of the disease. This revelation bears a vital message: There is hope in despair and it can be found in the strength and determination of those who struggle with issues that may seem insurmountable. For many of us adversity is a constant part of our life, not a temporary state of being, and we are left with two options: suffer the death of our soul or dare to discover the beauty in everyday life. Foreword written by Dr. Patrick Williams, Author, Speaker, Life and Wellness Coach. Author of Getting Naked: On Emotional Transparency at the Right Time, the Right Place, and with the Right Person.
