In this fascinating exploration of depression, neuroscientist Kelly Lambert highlights her ground-breaking research suggesting that important clues to the mysteries of this disease have been in our hands all along. She identifies a circuit in the human brain,connecting movement, feeling, and cognition,that is responsible for symptoms of depression, and shows that when we knit a sweater, prepare a meal, or simply repair a lamp, we're actually bathing our brain in feel-good" chemicals. Highlighting inspiring accounts of change and growth, Lifting Depression offers a compassionate and commonsense way of preventing and treating one of the modern era's most debilitating diseases.
