Suggest remedy for depression, feeling empty and lack of motivation
human
Hi, I'm looking for a good self help book on depression that will help my 28 year old son who is dealing with depression. He is doing a drug trial, has been out of work for over a year, says he just feels "empty" and can't get motivated to do anything.... Any suggestions?

DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely suggest that your son could be a victim of his own negative thinking. You cannot term his current state of mind as clinical depression. Rather, this is just disappointment. Disappointment which arises out of unforeseen life events do bring such symptoms like sadness, irritation, anger, lethargy, lack of interest, lack of appetite etc. Please understand this fact and make sure to introspect. Talking to your friends, out door activities and being creative should give you relief. Find the reason for your disappointment and consult a psychologist if need be. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL.  Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.Good luck.
