How to Overcome Depression

I was inspired to write a book on depression because at first, I didnt see a way out; so when I did recover, it was an opportunity for me to share my story and the methods I used. For years I suffered, and worst of all, I just could not find the root cause of my problem, even when I had professional counselling. It was only when I hit rock bottom in my late twenties that it suddenly dawned on me. I discovered it to be a very complex combination of several things. I was used to a certain level of success in my early twenties, playing as a professional polo player, which came quickly. I was used to being in the limelight and used to a certain level of comfort. I was earning a good salary and was surrounded by glamour in an addictive sport. In this period of trying new things, I decided to give up on all pills, even against doctors orders, as I was determined to fight depression in all ways. The pills numbed all my feelings. So I decided that whatever it took, I would go all out and put in the effort. I used myself as an experiment, if you like. I had nothing to lose, as I was already at rock bottom. It was a complete detox from absolutely everything, then I was free. My book and the process will involve effort. Good luck.
