“Depression is personal, complex, and widespread. In The Great Escape: Helping Someone Break Free from the Deep, Dark Dungeon of Depression, Cindy Girard provides clarity and understanding of an epidemic that has affected and confused many.

By carefully analyzing the research and exploring the root causes of depression, Cindy presents direct, actionable strategies that can help anyone free themselves from its grips. I also really appreciate the way Cindy draws upon decades of personal experience. I feel that perspective is not only honest but also offers hope — which is vitally important to turning things around. Getting past depression isn’t necessarily easy, but it is possible. If you or someone you know is dealing with depression, this enlightening book is a must-read!”
