I recently had a bit of a "relapse" into depression. I've struggled with depression off and on for several years. This DVD gave me a new outlook. I felt as if Ira was talking to me...almost like he knew EXACTLY what I was going through. I practiced meditation and felt a sense of "calm" that I have never felt before. It gave me hope and hope is critical in the healing process. One thing he said that helps me is 'this too shall pass'. He also recommended making a list of things/people you are grateful for. Sometimes, seeing these things on paper can help you think in a much more positive light. Although I'm not feeling 100%, I feel like I will most definitely recover from this...and much faster.
