Living Without Depression and Manic Depression is an intensive manual for use by people who have been working on their wellness and recovery over time. It is not a beginner's manual. Many people choose to use it after they have used "The Depression Workbook".

If you have already worked your way through The Depression Workbook and are ready for the next step, this workbook is for you. This manual, based on intensive studies of people who have gotten well and stayed well over time, teaches you the intricacies of taking over control of your feelings and your life using a wide variety of self-help skills and strategies. It also leads you through the process of getting top notch care from your health care providers and uncovering any medical issues that might be affecting your life and your health.

This workbook is not light reading. Neither, however, is it complicated, theoretical or esoteric. Living Without Depression and Manic Depression is a straight-forward guide for people who experience mental health difficulties. Interactive exercises teach essential coping skills such as building a strong support system, fighting negative thoughts, finding appropriate professional help, and using relaxation and exercise.

Living Without Depression and Manic Depression is one of the texts for the Mental Health Recovery and WRAP Correspondence Course. For more information on the course go to www.copelandcenter.com.
