Living With Depression By Renata Azman ISBN: 978-1-84747-369-1 Published: 2007 Pages: 136 Key Themes: depression, poetry Description What makes Depra a bestseller in Slovenia? First of all, this is an optimistic book, allthrough it's about depression. The author is trying to find a way out of black thoughts, out of abyss, out of the dark side of life called »depra«. Depra is a short word for depression no matter how long it lasts. Depra is a book about surviving, about struggling with oneself, about finally finding a way out of a long, dark tunnel. It is also a book about the meaning of life, about God, pscyhiatry, medications, other therapies and particularly a book about victory. People who read the book, are saying that they found themselves in it and that the book helped them in conquering their everyday problems and their struggle with the depression. Depra opened a lot of questions about mental health in Slovenia and after it was launched at the press conference, depression became an issue the media can no longer avoid. It meant a kind of release for people suffering of mental desease, who can now more openly talk about it. Depression and other mental disorders became a part of »normal« reality. »This is a book of courage,« wrote dr. Jozef Magdic, pscychotherapist and neuropscychiatrist who's merit it is that Depra was published. He belives in psychoterapeutic value of the book and, as he said, the diary of a person suffering depression is very important for the therapists, doctors and other people who are working with depressed people. In the book are expressed deep feelings and it was written with an open heart. About the Author Renata Azman was born on February 14th 1964 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
