Working with Depression 

Dr. Harry Barry will be looking at the pathways out of Depression. As society undergoes rapid change and people face perhaps the bleakest economic conditions in modern memory, it is not surprising that the issue of mental health has become more prominent and somewhat more openly discussed than previously. The problems of depression and anxiety seem to be the most prevalent with often debilitating effects on the sufferers and their families. However, in many cases, these afflictions can be treated and risks of recurrence significantly reduced.

Dr Harry Barry's Book Flagging the Therapy takes a holistic view and examines the numerous medical, psychological and complimentary therapies that can all help in negotiating a pathway out of depression. Dr Barry explains the role our minds and brains play in the manifestation of depression, and how these in turn can be shaped to lead us out of illness.
