An emphatic point the author makes is that one must have a holistic approach when dealing with depression. As an illustration, he tells the story of one of his patients whose name was John. John was in his early forties and was severely depressed. He had been depressed for a long time. By the time he checked into “The Center,” he was 100 pounds overweight. He had visited various practitioners. But no one had asked a simple question, “what’s going into your mouth every day?”
It turns out that among other things John was drinking on the average twelve pots of coffee every day. John shared that no one had ever asked how much coffee he drank so he had never thought to mention it. He was definitely addicted to Coffee!
Thankfully with some help at the clinic, John adjusted his diet, cut his coffee back to almost nothing and began to exercise and he improved rapidly.
Healing depression is not only
possible; it is achievable. But it will require taking a hard look at your life
and adjusting your lifestyle—in some cases permanently. The whole person plan
is not a magic bullet, nor is it a once for all fix. The road to wellness is
less like a detour back to where you were going and more like following a new
road to a new destination
