Features: Depression is a common mental illness characterized by high prevalence, high recurrence rate, high disability rate, and high mortality rate. However, due to insufficient awareness, many patients with depression do not receive proper diagnosis and treatment. Mr. Nakamura Kei has been engaged in clinical research on depression and Morita therapy for 30 years, accumulating extensive experience. Depression not only requires medication but also requires self-cultivation and psychological regulation, which are indispensable for helping patients recover and preventing recurrence. This book, from different perspectives, argues that depression is not a psychiatric disorder and introduces methods for self-regulation and communication with family members, helping patients cope with depression more easily. The book is divided into seven chapters, covering topics such as what depression is, the perspective of Morita therapy, Morita's method of health preservation, inpatient Morita therapy for chronic depression, prevention of depression recurrence, family responses, and medication.
