Shake the blues away.
Everyone knows that depression can lead to guilt, sadness, frustration, and in the case of 15-20% of people with depression, suicide. Because we live in a culture that rewards (and often worships) productivity, when a depressed person canât meet the expectations of society, the depression becomes worse and a vicious cycle begins. The goal of Getting Things Done When Youâre Depressed is to break this cycle. Readers will learn:
⢠How to prepare yourself mentally for working while depressed
⢠How to structure your environment so you can work more easily
⢠How to work with others
⢠How to prevent depression
