Synopsis

In the past decade, depression rates have skyrocketed, and one in four Americans will suffer from major depression at some point in their lives. Where have we gone wrong? Dr. Stephen S. Ilardi sheds light on our current predicament and reminds us that our bodies were never designed for the sleep-deprived, poorly nourished, frenzied pace of twenty-first-century life.

Inspired by the extraordinary resilience of aboriginal groups like the Kaluli of Papua New Guinea, Dr. Ilardi prescribes an easy-to-follow, clinically proven program that harks back to what our bodies were originally made for and what they continue to need. The Depression Cure program has already delivered dramatic results, helping even those who have failed to respond to traditional medications.

Goodreads review by Russ on July 31, 2012

Initial thoughts: Don't really like the table of contents, chapters aren't clearly indicated, it shows 'Parts" 1, 2, 3, etc. Then CHapters, but then also shows sections within those chapters, just too much info going on. I like a clean TOC. Chapter 1. The epidemic and the cure. Good read. Introduces......more

Goodreads review by Flarne on April 20, 2021

Lots of researches went into this but they’re deliver in a simple and effective way... the same way this program is purposefully trimmed down to be realistically achievable to the audience intended and I think this is a really good thing! I’d doubt anyone would have any lingering questions about anyt......more
