Mood disorders like anxiety and depression are the most common mental health problems, affecting about 40% of the population at some point in their lives. How can we use the power of our thoughts to challenge unhealthy beliefs and overcome depression without medications? With over 4 million copies sold, ​Feeling Good, ​is one of the best selling self help books of all time. It​ ​explains in depth how our automatic negative thoughts are the root cause of mood disorders and expertly outlines the specific steps we can take to combat these irrational thoughts and change the way we feel and function.
