Books can be great old friends when feeling low. The book on this video - 'I had a Black Dog' by Matthew Johnstone and the sequel 'Living with a Black Dog' are books that I come back to when I'm ill. They remind me I'm not alone and that the things I'm thinking and feeling are due to my depression. They are particularly good as they are mostly pictures so I can read them even though my attention span is shot to hell.

I would recommend these books for people to use to gain an understanding of depression, or for others like me who find them a useful companion on the dark days.
