[Rachel · Rating 3 out of 5]

full disclosure: I did not read the book cover to cover, only the relevant parts.
There was useful information here, but the pervasive thesis that parents should educate themselves ahead of time so they'll know if their child is depressed as soon as possible was depressing and discouraging.
