Features: My life has not been smooth sailing. Like you, I have many regrets and have endured much pain. Sometimes, even now, I am still going through torment, having to spend one or two painful days with the black dog—depression. I allow him to come because he tempts me to give up, complaining that life is "too hard." He makes me wish that I didn't have to adjust to life or take any responsibility for it. Bev Aisbett is a cartoonist and has also been a fellow sufferer of depression. Based on her own experience of overcoming mental illness, she has published a series of illustrated books in cartoon form to help people overcome mental obstacles. Her books are light, humorous, and written in a simple, clear style, making them very suitable for general readers, especially those with similar psychological issues. In the book "Taming the Black Dog—Overcoming Depressive Moods," the author uses her unique talent, insights, and practical techniques to tell those suffering from depression and those who feel a bit "depressed" how to overcome it.
