Depression and Manic Depression are stubborn illnesses. They don't go away easily. To attain victory over his own battle with depression and manic depression (now called bipolar disorder), counselor and author Paul Wider used a multifaceted approach to healing. For many, taking medication is helpful, but not enough. Such people and others who can't take medication or who prefer an alternative approach may want to take a look at Wider's method. His numerous Self-Help strategies and tools are indispensable in the recovery process.
