It's an informative & easy to read book. I like the holistic approach to treating & dealing with depression - allowing God to be the shepherd.

This book is a very good guide for women who are experiencing depression as it gives practical advice from people who are educated on depression.
They even go into depth on the various causes of depression.
I will admit that I was not expecting the religious element but it does not detract from the advice given in the book. While it is Christian based, I feel like everyone could find something beneficial in it.
As someone who is on antidepressants, I actually learned a lot about my medication while reading this book.
It balances the power of medication and non-medicinal approaches without prioritising one over the other.
In conclusion, I would highly recommend this book to women who are experiencing or have experienced depression.
