More About Unstuck:

Each year, as many as twenty million Americans are diagnosed with clinical depression. Dr. James Gordon, a Harvard Medical School-educated psychiatrist who founded and directs The Center for Mind Body Medicine in Washington, DC, has been helping his patients find their way out of the darkness of depression.

Dr. Gordon believes that depression is not an end point, a disease over which we have no control. It is a sign that our lives are out of balance, that we're stuck. It's a wake-up call and the start of a journey that can help us become whole and happy, one that can change and transform our lives.

Unstuck is a practical, easy-to-use guide explaining the seven stages of Dr. Gordon's approach and the steps we can take to exert control over our own lives and find hope and happiness. Using dramatic and inspiring examples from the patients he has worked with over the years, he explains the practical, mood-healing benefits of: food and nutritional supplements; Chinese medicine; movement, exercise and dance; psychotherapy, meditation and guided imagery; and spiritual practice and prayer.

The result is Unstuck, an incredibly thoughtful, practical, and meditative guide to the difficult but rewarding journey out of depression.
