Conquering the Beast Within

This is a one of a kind book about depression, that is not depressing and is truly for all ages and walks of life. The authentic and non-clinical nature of this book approaches depression in an empathetic and easy to read fashion. Originally, Cait kept a journal about her struggle with depression as a way to communicate with her family and friends about how she was feeling. And as she recovered and moved through her journey, her journal became an inspiring and educational story which then became a published book. It is also a wonderful tool for teachers and therapists, as well as for parents or caretakers who are helping someone who is suffering from depression. For anyone in the clutches of the frightening beast that is depression, this book can help. In vivid words and images, Cait Irwin shares her own compelling story: how she struggled with clinical depression at age fourteen, sought help, and successfully made the long, arduous climb back to good health. This powerful book, now updated and elaborated on, shares an inspirational message with all who are waging their own battles with depression: There is a way out.
