Description
The Depression Code: Deciphering the Purposes of Neurotic Depression focuses on one specific depressive diagnosis: Dysthymic Disorder. Its symptoms include some or all of the following: fatigue, persistent sadness, marked increases or decreases in appetite, an inability to sleep (or remain asleep), oversleeping, reduced ability to concentrate, indecisiveness, and despondency.Â
Talk therapy as well as pharmacological interventions may use procedures and prescriptions that concentrate on relieving symptoms by searching for and addressing the perceived cause. However, this comprehensive, easy-to-read book provides an additional, complementary voice from an Adlerian perspective that makes the case that personality factors, individual choice, social functioning, and psychological underpinnings play a role in the development and maintenance of dysthymic disorder. It asks the question: What if depressive symptoms aren't necessarily the effect of some cause, but purposeful means by which to achieve goals?
