Dealing with Depression is a workbook for teens that explains depression and teaches three main antidepressant skills you can use to help overcome or prevent it. The skills are presented in a step-by-step way so that you may learn them easily and apply them to your life. Sometimes these antidepressant skills can be used on their own, when the mood problem isn't too severe, and sometimes they have to be used along with treatments prescribed by professionals. Either way, practicing these antidepressant skills will help you deal more effectively with low mood and depression. 3 ways to use this book: 1. Download it to your computer. You'll need Adobe Reader. (If you don't have that program, download it free from http://www.adobe.com/reader/) Then, download Dealing with Depression from the link below. You'll be able to read it over, send copies to your friends, whatever. But some parts of the book ask you to write things down -- use a notebook or journal for the writing parts. 2. Print a copy. Once you download the file, this is easy. But notice that the book is pretty long, about 67 pages, so you might want to print it in sections, as you read each part. If your printer does double-sided printing, that will make the book easier to carry around; if it prints in colour, that's even better. 3. Save a "writable" version of the manual. Some people prefer to use this book on their computer, including the writing parts. So, to use this, you will need to have Acrobat Reader 7 and higher (download it from Adobe from the link above). If you open the DWD file with it, you'll be able to use the book, write in it and save what you've done on your computer. That way, you can use the book totally without ever having to print a copy.
