> > >Robin - I first discovered your husband's book a couple of years ago when I was deciding whether to order another book on depression from Amazon. I checked out the reader reviews on this other book and I noticed that a striking number of reviewers made comments like "this book was good, but the book that really explains depression is Undoing Depression." If memory serves correctly, your husband's book was reviewed very favorably by its readers on Amazon. I'd point to that as an example that you do understand depressions. I admit that your site is certainly promotional in nature, but i agree with dj that there is helpful stuff there. Your husband's contribution to me has not been so much his message, as it has been his ability to express so clearly and eloquently the way a depressed person feels and thinks. There were lots of places in the book where I felt like he was describing me. I know that sounds a little trite but that feeling of connection really has not been there with any other material of that genre. I used to visit the site periodically because I found it reassuring, and somehow made me feel less isolated. I have to say that this site performs that function more for me now, but I don't think that diminishes the value of your site, particularly to people who maybe haven't been around the bend quite as much as it seems the people on this site have been. I do think the Personal sites should be more receptive. Have you tried a link to Mixed Nutz? I think that's how I eventually found my way here, with an intermediate site in between. K
