Living with a Black Dog

This second book from Matthew Johnstone, author of "I Had a Black Dog", is an equally touching and beautifully illustrated book, written for those who care for those suffering from depression - friends, family members, colleagues, and even therapists. Using wonderful illustrations and the image of Churchill's infamous 'black dog', Matthew and his wife Ainsley offer a moving, inspirational and often humorous portrait of life with depression - not only for those suffering from it themselves, but for those close to them. "Living with a Black Dog" speaks directly to the carer and offers practical and sometimes tongue-in-cheek tips on helping the depression sufferer, such as: socks have little do with mental health; if people could just snap out of it they would; and, encourage any form of regular exercise - fitness robs the Dog of its power.
