La depresión (no) existe

Guide to not causing harm when talking to a depressed person. "Don't be sad!", "Why do you feel like this if you have everything in life?" These are some of the reactions that people suffering from depression hear when they confess their illness. In this book you will find simple, sincere and illustrated explanations to understand why comments like this do not help these people. A useful guide for those who do not want to cause harm when talking about depression, as well as a clarifying introduction to the disease. When someone tells us that they are depressed (not that they are sad, but that they are suffering from depression), we most likely do not know what to say to them or how to make them feel better. Juan Carlos Rincón suffers from depression and collects in this book the comments and advice that has been made to him when talking about his illness and that, in his experience, have worsened the situation rather than helping. A basic manual for people who know someone with this disorder, but also a book for the general public to understand what this disease consists of, which, according to the WHO, affects more than three hundred million people in the world.
