Publisher's Synopsis
The author shares his personal experience with anxiety and depression and the coping skills he has applied with much success over the past two decades. His voyage of self-discovery has relied on an integration of his layman understanding of Cosmology and Mind Sciences with a knowledge of Management Sciences. This has resulted in progressive amelioration from the depth of despair to a sense of self-actualization. The author, however, self-describes as a 'Recovering Depressive' and makes the clear disclaimer that this work is in no way intended to obviate the critical necessity for the individual, and his family, to seek professional help as the first course of action in response to a protracted mood disorder. The unstated, yet clear lesson from Dr. Jenning's recount of his experiences in coping with this extremely common co-morbidity is perhaps that 'Anixiety and depression are merely speed-bumps on the highway to self-actualization; definitely not the end of the road'. It is anticipated that as an eminently successful professional, Dr. Jennings' candid recount of his personal, debilitating experiences will serve as catalyst for greater openness in treating with these extremely common health disorders. The seemingly frequent needless tragedies which have been brought to light by the pervasiveness of social media, urgently dictates greater public dialogue on what is still regarded, with disastrous consequences, as a taboo subject.
