Mental Illness, Depression

I have this interest in books on mental illness, depression, psychology -- I don't realy know why exactly, I have to search quite a bit to find books on this subject on audible.com, but I have just started a short list -- just wondering if anyone else has this interest and what books you have read or want to read on the topic.

After nine years of major clinical depression, I've been depression-free for another nine. I do have periods now and then when I feel down, as though I may slip back. It's almost always because I haven't been taking care of myself, I'm stressed out, and I'm not tending to the needs of my spirit.

So, I take time to rest, to do some things I enjoy and haven't had time for in a while, and I spend time nourishing my spirit through Bible reading and reflection. It usually works.

Think good thoughts about yourself. Do not even entertain any bad thoughts about yourself. This will only drag you further down.

Winter can be bad. Get lots of natural light if possible.

When I feel it coming on it's very hard not to give in and just curl up in bed and sleep/veg. I try to get out and do something outside the house---even just window shopping. Or try to read
and listen to music (maybe dance to it). It can be an uphill battle though.
