ROBERT DAVE JOHNSTON
AUTHOR, FICTION / NON-FICTION
The recent suicide of actor/comedian Robin Williams has brought the topic to centerstage. And there are millions of 'Robin Williams' out there, suffering and thinking about ending their lives. Indeed, the conversation must continue; we must come together (in knowledge and action) to fight this behemoth, to carry a message of hope and recovery. That no matter how low one may feel, there IS light at the end of the tunnel - SUICIDE IS NOT THE ANSWER!
If you suffer from mild, severe or chronic depression (or if you know someone who does), this book will prove itself to be invaluable and a crucial tool on the journey of recovery. Depression, When the Darkest Hour is Every Hour will be released in Amazon Kindle format on 12/10/2014, and in paperback by 12/20/2014.

THE ENEMY WITHIN
There is a great destroyer, an invisible tormentor, liming among humanity, dwelling within our own flesh and in our own minds, a parasite bent on causing only pain, misery, rage, sadness, hopelesness and, if possible death. But not necessarily a natural death; it can often be violent, tragic and unexpected. On the other hand, this sickness can claw at a person's heart and soul for an entire lifetime, leaving the sufferer empty and lost - 'dead in life.'
In Depression, When the Darkest Hour is Every Hour, the author talks candidly about the decades he spent in the grips of this crippling condition, how low he sunk, what the turning point was, and how he overcame chronic isolation, negativity, despair and repeated suicide attempts. The author also talks about historical figures who also battled depression and how they managed it (without the help of today's advanced treatments and medications).Much of the book is dedicated to outlining strategies, diet and lifestyle changes that helped the author overcome depression, as well as an entire chapter on psychotropic medications; the good, the bad and the ugly. Various therapeutic styles are discussed and evaluated.
All in all this book gives the reader a thorough manual on depression, how it affects the mind, the symptoms, how to treat it, how to halt depressive episodes, how to transcend negative thinking and train the mind to focus on the positive, finding help for deep-seated emotional trauma, spirituality, helpful holistic practices and much, much more.
