A friend showed me this book and I thought it was marvellous. It showed depression in a visual way that made sense to me. It proved that I am not the only one who feels like this! I use the black dog philosophy to help me deal with my illness ie I leave the dog at home when I go out! It also helped when trying to explain my condition to others. After reading the book my husband understands more about why I feel tired or why I find socialising difficult. By showing my friends the book they now realise why I act like I do. You don't have to try and explain all the elements of the illness - just show them the book! I have used it so many times - worth every penny!
This book is a must for anyone that has or still suffers from depression, it is so relatable , easy to read, pictures to get the point across of how depression can take hold, will always refer back to it when needed.

Very informative and helpful. Explain’s in detail about depression and is a good book for people who knows someone that’s suffering from depression. It helps to recognise symptoms. I would also recommend living with a black dog book as that is also very helpful and informative
