Getting It Done When You're Depressed, Second Edition: 50 Strategies for Keeping Your Life on Track by John Preston, Julie Fast, Julie A. Fast

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.5

More self-help than I was hoping for, seeing the Psy.D as a co-author was misleading, they only answer basic questions that were probably emailed in bulk and replied to a short paragraph at a time. Julie Fast is the primary author, I can tell she's been living with Depression a long time and it is good to hear how more people cope with major depression, though based on her other books it seems she is Bipolar, not unipolar like me, and it's good she differentiates between different types of depression. I dig learning more coping strategies and reading how someone else has managed their symptoms, it's all fairly basic and is have liked more research, but I'm also a psych major and can handle the grit of research. I did enjoy how compartmentalized this book was, it felt accessible to read with depression. 
Wouldn't buy it, but would recommend to fellow depressed folks, especially those who want more focused solutions rather than scientific explanations
