Advances over the last decade have transformed our thinking about depression, ourselves, and our lives. Motivated by the rise in COVID-19 related depression, Dr. Jane L. Delgado has released The Buena Salud(R) Guide to Understanding Depression and Enjoying Life published simultaneously in English and Spanish (Buena Salud Press, Pub Date: August 2020). This brand-new volume in the acclaimed Buena Salud(R) series of health books, written by the president and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health and a practicing clinical psychologist, breaks stigmas associated with depression and dispenses invaluable science-based advice. With real-life stories throughout, the book informs, supports, and delivers the latest in health information and the kind of caring advice that readers can readily use in their daily life. In the book's introduction Dr. Delgado says "COVID-19 changed our country and the world." Dr. Delgado makes clear that, "We all go through depression at some point in life - some of us more often than others. Depression is neither a way of life nor something that just has to be endured. None of us should spend our lives suffering, and that is why this book is so important. It is my hope that by understanding depression and the actions you can take against it, you will carve a new path for yourself. This is about taking life one step at a time and rediscovering yourself. This is a call to action for your body, mind, and spirit."The book acknowledges the factors that keep people from seeking help for depression and offers three key tools to frame a healthier life. She discusses ways to actualize these self-statements, the challenges that need to be overcome, and the ways to implement them. In seeking treatment, Dr. Delgado shares key questions about depression to ask a health care provider, as well as what to consider when choosing a licensed mental health professional. She also shares guidance on non-commercial helplines and the best online sources for information on depression in both English and Spanish At a time of great national stress, and a rise in depression in American families, the information in this book is intended to make life better for all-those with depression, those who know someone who is depressed, and those of us who have to live the consequences of untreated depression. With over 25,000 copies already in American homes, the BUENA SALUD(R) books have become essential family guides for health and well-being.
