depression Free: Ask me How!
depression Free: A Wise Woman's Guide to Healing and Happiness
The Purpose
I had a decision to make over 30 years ago. Would I allow my depression to consume me? Or would I fight back and own my right to be happy, whole, independent, and self-empowered?
I decided to give depression the boot! In this book, I share how I reclaimed my life from the clutching grips of depression that led me to overdose on pain pills. I offer tips and insight on winning the battle with determination and without medication.
Inside these pages, you will learn about: The power of faith, how to let go of the past, the power of journaling, how to love and nurture yourself, how to adjust your attitude, how to build your self-esteem, the power of meditation and how to choose a mental health provider that fits YOUR needs.
depression Free: A Wise Woman’s Guide to Healing and Happiness, chronicles my triumph over depression and offers practical tools to empower you to take constructive steps toward renewal and happiness.
What readers are saying...
​
​
Depression Free is a courageous book. The last thing a depressed person needs is a long book to wade through. Depression Free combines a personal and painful story of depression and recovery that is easy to read, thoughtful, and direct...all without being overly sentimental or self-serving. Ameenah also includes very specific, practical, and uncomplicated activities that can help the tired and depressed person begin the climb out of the pits of depression.

Just wanted to share my thoughts on this book. I was talking with a friend one evening about how everyone wanted me to do this and be at this place at this time with them, yet no one ever stopped to ask me what I wanted to do. That weekend I felt really low and started having some crazy thoughts again, (I had tried suicide before. ) but no one to really talk to.
I started reading this book around 7pm and finished by 9. I felt like Mrs. Ameenah was in my head and had written out my feelings. Just know that this book has made me realize that I am worth something and I woke up the next morning with a gift.
Thank you so much, Mrs. Ameenah!

"This book has impassioned me to be more observant of depression in people that look and act normal. My opinion of depression had been people sitting around moaning about how bad their life is. I was so wrong. This book helped me to recognize so many things. Ameenah gives straight forward advice and no - holds barred look at how depression can affect any of us. I highly recommend this book."

Depression Free offers encouragement, hope and guidance for anyone looking to make a positive change in their life. Although this is not a religious book, as a Christian it was refreshing to see the power of God throughout the book.
Ameenah recognizes that God was with her throughout her ordeal. When she stopped to listen, he ordered her steps, even to the point of sharing her experience with others. What a wonderful gift she has provided.
