Depression can be debilitating, driving sufferers to suicide or so taxing the body that it can lead to disease and early death. But, it doesn’t have to be that way, says author Stacy Brimhall. “Defeating Depression: One Man’s Fight to Find Joy” is a personal, insightful look at how Stacy has dealt with the horrors of his own genetic and situational depression.

Determined to change the pattern that has led many to suicide, Stacy offers four “mind ingredients” that helped him battle back. These ingredients and his practical, determined approach can help others as well, providing tools will help them to not only survive mental illness, but to experience true joy. “Defeating Depression” offers hope and understanding for the loved ones of those who suffer with mental illness as well.
