The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs

When Dr Steve Ilardi set out to find, once and for all, a cure for depression, he first identified the remedies already proven most effective for treating the condition. From his extensive research he created a 6-step programme, presented here for the first time in book form.
While each individual treatment component is already proven valuable in its own right, The Depression Cure is the first approach to combine these treatments into a comprehensive programme, while also explaining their rationale and providing step-by-step guidance. The six key elements include: - vigorous physical activity - a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids - abundant natural sunlight exposure, which boosts Vitamin D levels and mood and keeps the brain’s internal body clock in synch - ample restorative sleep each night - extensive social connectedness - continuous participation in meaningful, engaging tasks that leave little time for dwelling on negative thoughts Already, The Depression Cure programme has been shown to deliver dramatically better results than antidepressant medications alone.
