Beat Depression Fast: Ten Steps to a Happier You

Alexandra Massey, a depression counselor, offers a ten-step program to treat depression quickly and without prescription drugs. Massey, who has experienced depression for most of her life, refused to take prescription drugs due to low self-esteem and deep hopelessness. She believes that accepting depression is the first step towards recovery, and trust is the second. Massey credits her own recovery to her participation in 12-step programs and the power of letting a greater power into her life. She believes that real change only occurs when she acknowledges she cannot beat depression on her own and needs to rely on something bigger and wiser than herself. Following these steps will lead to greater peace of mind, more resilience, and the reemergence of dreams.
