I recall while reading Burton's book, "Heaven and Hell", how I wished he was able to sit with the chapter on depression for a few more pages. Growing from Depression is just that! I was sucked in from the introduction. Anyone's that suffered from depression understands how frustrating it is when well-meaning loved ones insist that we just get over or rid of depression as if it were that easy. This way of thinking I believe can drive one deeper into depression. The thought of growing from depression inspires hope and gives new meaning to this debilitating dis-ease. I was delighted to see his emphasis that being depressed doesn't make someone a loser or attention seeker. No one would choose depression and when more of us begin to see it much like the warning light on the dashboard of our automobile, a signal that something unseen is amiss, I believe we'll began to lose the stigmas.
