Its Not All In Your Head: Unearthing The Deep Roots Of Depression

The story of one mans search for the roots of a puzzling depression that struck suddenly in midlife reaches back decades to a dysfunctional alcoholic household. It is not unlike the story of millions of sufferers. This humanistic portrayal dispels myths about depression to eradicate its stigma and chronicles the surprising lessons learned during two lengthy draining episodes of depression. Yet unlike a memoir the point of this story is to illustrate emerging controversial findings from medical research that explain the origins of these misunderstood disorders. The book highlights the devastating effects of childhood trauma on mental health in later life so that readers may better understand their own experiences and heal their inner wounds.
