FAST BUT LOST (PB)

Do you feel like just staying
in bed every morning? Maybe you don’t feel like going to work either and have
no energy
to talk to your family or meet up with friends. Or maybe someone close to
you has been feeling down for a long time.
Are you or your loved one going through just a bad patch? Or is it
something more serious?

Could it be depression?

Regardless of how successful you are in your life, there may come a time
when you face low moods and sometimes even
depression. This is simply a consequence of our urban lifestyle and the
often stressful and disorienting circumstances in
which we live. And a key to navigate through these is to understand and
address them.

Based on Dr Pallavi Joshi’s extensive experience in diagnosing and treating
clinical depression, Fast but Lost can help you
do just that. Focusing on depression in urban India, it addresses special
challenges like maintaining a work–life balance,
dissatisfactory relationships, poor lifestyle and disillusionment. This
book also addresses the myths and facts about depression and its treatment.
Through stories and case studies, Dr Joshi helps you understand your own
condition and/or help loved
ones around you.

The concerning fact is that many people spend years or even their whole
life suffering from depression without recognizing
that it’s a treatable illness. Correct and timely treatment can drastically
improve the quality of life of a person suffering
from depression. Fast but Lost can make you aware of this silent killer and
help destigmatize the illness and its treatment.
