Laughing in the Dark / Chonda Pierce 232 p. Self help

Laughing in the Dark / Chonda Pierce 232 p. Self help

Chonda Pierce offers help with depression.  For many having a mental illness is full of shame and humiliation.  Some think that you can just shake it off.  (One doesn't say that to someone with cancer).  Chonda shares her very real trip through depression.   She makes it clear that this is a disease like any other.  And the patient needs therapy that includes medications, counseling, and support,  it is not something that one can just shake it off.  She explains that meds take time to take effect.  They may need to be changed.  And one may need to take for one's lifetime.  She shares practical insight, biblical teachings, emotional support, and concern.
