Publisher's Synopsis
This book gives information on depression, which is probably the most common mental disorder within the United States. To some individuals, major depression can result in severe impairments that disrupt or limit one's capability to enact significant life activities. Research indicates that mindfulness meditation may minimize depression, as well as anxiety and stress. The medical community suggests making use of mindfulness meditation to ease depression and anxiety in patients, and research has also documented ways mindfulness alters the brain. However, one uses meditation to serve as a practice where one can use as a technique - namely mindfulness or focusing the mental state throughout the particular object, thought, or activity - to coach attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state.
