Depression Visible - Diana Alishouse

• See the Ragged Edge series of original art quilts which were shown in the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Washington, D.C.
• Written in everyday language—no medical jargon.
• Learn about causes, symptoms, and treatments.
• Discover the many facets of depression beyond the physical (biochemical) and the emotional.
• Find out how to navigate the medical Establishment and how to communicate effectively with your doctor.

This is the first book that SHOWS what depressive illness feels like. Alishouse walks us through the journey she took as she discovered what was wrong, dealt with her depression, and then—with help—overcame her depression.

Simply reading about depression is not the way to help or to get help. Diana's intricate and highly intuitive fabric art takes you into the mind of a depressed person, thereby allowing you to more fully understand who they are, what they're dealing with, and how they might overcome it.

If you have a depressive illness, know that you are not alone.
