Product Description
Dr. Norman T. Berlinger initially missed the signs of his own son's depression. But by drawing on his love for his son, as well as his skills and training as a doctor, he developed a set of techniques to help lead his son out of depression. In this book, he offers 10 Parental Partnering Strategies based on his own experiences and on interviews with parents of depressed teens and mental health professionals. Dr. Berlinger's tips will help concerned parents differentiate true depression from moodiness, be alert to suicide risks, monitor medication effectiveness, and spot signs of relapse. One in eight teens is depressed, but Rescuing Your Teenager from Depression shows that there are ways parents can help. Don't let your child become another statistic -- read this book.

a must for parents with depressed teens September 28, 2005

For any parent who thinks or knows their child has depression, there is no better source of information than this book. We found our son described on nearly every page. It helped us to understand the problem. More importantly, it helped us to learn how to help him. Reading this book makes me want to devote the rest of my life to helping parents in this situation.
Reading required for parents or parents to-be. February 6, 2006

This book can help save a life. As his son, I attest Dr. Berlinger explains depression in frank terms that both professionals and parents can understand and follow. Any parent who wishes to get a better grasp on their child's symptoms will be directed towards reality. I am living proof that this book works.

Rescuing Your Teenager from Depression could have been written about my own son. Very informative and helpful!
Comforting & useful! September 4, 2010
C. Gorecki (Florida)
This was one of the best written books ever for parents of depressed teens. I read it quickly, was able to identify with the author's experiences and it helped me understand the nuances of the depressive disorder that no doctor has provided us. It truly is from a parent's perspective while his medical knowledge gives him the credentials to make thoughtful comments on coping with the disease and the behaviors while raising a well adjusted young person. Highly recommended to the parents and grandparents of a depressed teen. Counselors and psychiatric professionals could learn from this as well.
