I didn't realise when I bought this book - luckily at an op shop so I only wasted $3 - that this was written from a "christian perspective" with paragraphs such:
"God created you with amazing potential. Don't give up on your life and dreams because of depression. In the power of his Spirit, look to Him, and with His help and the love of friends and family, fight back and win!"
What utter garbage! My personal opinion is that if you have to rely on a fictional character for your support then you have no chance of recovery. You should rely on someone more tangible in your life.
I would just have thrown in into the rubbish bin, but I know some people believe in god, and fairies, and elves, and vampires, and witches, and little green men, so as it might be of use to them I will release it at the hospital.
