Product Description
Depression affects everyone. Do you know someone who is depressed? Do you live with someone suffering from depression? Are you depressed? Would you like to learn strategies to cope with depression? Being depressed is not a factor of personal weakness. One out of ten is afflicted with this illness. The other ninety percent know someone who struggles to cope - a spouse, partner, parent, sibling, child, relative, or friend. Family and friends want to help, but don't know how. Overcoming depression takes work - sometimes just getting through every minute of every hour of the day is all that can be done...but it can be done.

This book details the personal struggle with depression of a woman and her family. There are lows and highs and Ms. Kochenberger shares all. I have given this book to friends who are also struggling with depression and it has been comforting to them. An insightful read.

Get In Focus with Out of Focus ... Again
Rating (5)
Date: 2008-11-23
Out of Focus ... Again is an insightful, brave and quite revealing story about a women who is a wife, mother of two and teacher. She is also sucked into the depths of depression.
What makes this book shine above so many on this topic is that it is not written (ghosted) by a celebrity... who, let's face it, usually has a deep pocketbook to pay for therapies and treatments.
Ann Kockenberger is a regular person, like you and me. And that's the beauty of this gem. I loved the Snapshots sprinkeld throughout and cheer for her family members--husband Gary and kids who openly share about their fears and angers as Ann is thrashed through the multiple storms that she encountered.The Confidence Factor: Cosmic Gooses Lay Golden EggsStabotage!: How to Deal with the Pit Bulls, Skunks, Snakes, Scorpions & Slugs in the Health Care Workplace
Finally, Ann shares the many things that she did, along with her family, that has brought her serenity today. Would highly recommend this book for family members to don't understand what is happening to their loved one.

Ann Kochenberger's Out of Focus is a brave true story about one person's experience with depression. And, while it is a memoir, it is clearly written for the reader. It contains a treasure-trove of fresh new insights into this disease, as well as detailed accounts of some of the worst days in Ann's life...and the best. She also offers something for everyone who is touched by a loved one's depression...including spouses and children, other family members, and friends and acquaintances. Ann doesn't rush through this story...in it are both beautifully written prose and thoroughly documented survival strategies.
