This book has an overall view of depression which I found quite helpful. It examines not only the symptoms, but also helps you determine causes of depression. It has some valuable information about changing the way you think and the way you look at things. I found the format very good - It enabled me to quickly grasp the main ideas, without having to wade through a lot of psychobabble.

"Taming the Black Dog" by Bev Aisbett, takes its title from how Winston Churchill referred to the depression that plagued him all his life.

It's a pretty basic guide to helping one cope with depression. It's written in cartoon form, with illustrations and speech bubbles, which pretty much put me off. I couldn't really get into the content because of the format.
