From Depression to Happiness: A Positive Psychiatry Prescription for Life after Depression

Messias, Erick

Description:

Psychiatry offers tools like psychotherapy and medications to manage mental disorder symptoms. However, a key question remains: how to support individuals with depression in building a better life after symptom control? This book combines Positive Psychology with Aristotelian philosophy to outline a path toward a flourishing life. It connects Aristotle’s concepts of virtue and excellence to the ideas of Martin Seligman and Howard Gardner.
