Aos amigos da Lista Brasileira de Psiquiatria
Uma grande amiga minha do Min Público pediu-me indicação de lista de
livros sobre depressão (em nível leigo) em inglês ou espanhol, para
enviar para uma amiga dela nos Estados Unidos que é deprimida mas
resistente a tratamentos.
Achou que seria uma forma da amiga entender um pouco melhor suas
dificuldades para buscar ajuda.
Caso conheçam esses livros, peço aos cultos amigos que me enviem!
Obrigado e saudações generalizadas. Jose
Ao que prontamente respondeu uma psicóloga brasileira que vivia nos EUA
O que mais existe nos USA é livro sobre depressão. O que menos existe é um
diagnóstico diferencial: tristeza vs depressão. Ou o processo de reorganização
psíquica pela perda de um objeto amado. Mas, vai aí uma listinha dos 10o livros mais
vendidos sobre depressão. Irma
