High Tides: Wading Through Depression - Every Day

Both a memoir and a self-help book, High Tides: Wading Through Depression - Every Day chronicles the difficulties of living with bipolar depression as well as the strategies this author uses to help cope with this sometimes debilitating disease. In order to prevent her bipolar illness—and especially her depression—from ruling her life, Andrews draws upon such things as exercise, writing, therapy, medication, and prayer to help wade through the treacherous waters of this disorder, which claims over 41,000 American lives each year. Managing and battling depression, a formidable adversary, is the focus of this book. For anyone who wants to understand depression more—but most of all for those who find themselves in the middle of a depressive episode—High Tides affirms that you are not alone in your suffering. In particular, this book examines how to enjoy a more balanced and fulfilling life even if you live with depression—every day.
