Do you live with chronic depression and face the prospect of living with this condition for the rest of your life? Or do you care for someone who does? Does this sometimes make you feel helpless and alone? Wouldn't it be great to have a good friend who understood how you feel? Who has been through the same struggles and found a way to cope and be happy? You could pull up a chair, put the kettle on or open a bottle, and talk without shame about your shared experiences. It is rare for us to find that person, so let this book be that friend. Steve Richards has lived with depression for almost 40 years and plans to live with it for much longer. In The Happy Depressive he shares his own life experiences with frankness and honesty and explains how depression has affected him along the way. He also describes in detail the coping strategies that have helped him live a happy and fulfilling life. Happy Depressives do exist, and he invites you to join their ranks.
