Amongst other updates, this 2016 Second Edition contains more personal stories and a new Chapter for Women. It’s very useful and practical for any major Depression, whether bipolar, uni-polar or their many variations and equivalents.

Discussion of  sunlight therapy would also been helpful. Any comprehensive book on a complex subject is still just a book, and folks who’re not natural readers might find an audio version, when available, useful.

Consultation with a therapist experienced with the many idiosyncratic variations of depression [for example, strong  irritability amongst some men], would also be helpful for most non-professional readers.
