More and more, conventional medicine pathologizes how we respond to life’s challenges—like feeling trapped in an unfulfilling job, grieving the death of a loved one, or being anxious about a bad relationship—telling us that they’re symptoms of disease. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Psychiatrist Jodie Skillicorn presents a new path, debunking the myth of the neurochemical imbalance and exploring the roots of depression, such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and poorly managed day-to-day stress. Evidence-based and fully supported by current depression research, Dr. Skillicorn’s holistic methods for beating depression—including nutrition, mindfulness, fostering meaningful connections, exercise, sleep, nature, and breathwork—empower readers to become agents of their own wholeness and healing.“The unfortunate reality is that the majority of patients treated with medications\u003cbr\u003efor depression fail to recover. In this insightful new work, Dr. Skillicorn shares\u003cbr\u003eher holistic prescriptions on how to live a fuller and depression-free life. This is\u003cbr\u003ea must-read in my clinic.”\u003cbr\u003e—JOEL KAHN, MD, FACC, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Plant-Based Solution\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“While there are dozens of self-help books on depression, Dr. Skillicorn has done\u003cbr\u003ea masterful job of explaining principles of neuroscience and how they work to\u003cbr\u003ecreate new neural pathways for healing depression. Neuroplasticity is the name of\u003cbr\u003ethe game, and Dr. Skillicorn presents meticulous research about the need to look\u003cbr\u003ebeyond ‘diagnose and adios’ medicine to help each individual develop his or her own\u003cbr\u003ecustomized program of activities and nutrition so that the brain can heal itself organically without dangerous medication. Whether you are a doctor, patient, or seeking help for someone you care about, you will find the help you seek in these pages.”\u003cbr\u003e—LAURIE NADEL, PhD, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Five Gifts: Discovering Hope, Healing, and Strength When Disaster Strikes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Medication is not the right answer for everyone. It wasn’t for me. The tools in this book show people so many other options that work without the negative side effects. \u003ci\u003eHealing Depression without Medication\u003c\/i\u003e brings back hope to what can feel like a hopeless diagnosis. It needs to be the standard for all trained mental health professionals and people suffering from depression.”\u003cbr\u003e—RACHAEL WOLFF, self-awareness coach and author of \u003ci\u003eLetters from a Better Me\u003c\/i\u003eJodie Skillicorn, DO, is an osteopathic physician board certified in Psychiatry and a diplomat of Integrative Holistic Medicine.
