Breaking Of Darkness

Breaking the Darkness is a science-backed guide to understanding and healing depression beyond the outdated "chemical imbalance" theory. It reframes depression as a complex interplay of biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors - often a signal of unmet needs rather than a flaw in the brain. Drawing on research from experts like Johann Hari, Bessel van der Kolk, and Viktor Frankl, the book explores root causes such as trauma, loneliness, lifestyle habits, distorted thinking, and disconnection from meaning.
Each chapter offers practical tools - from therapy techniques and body-based healing to lifestyle changes, purpose discovery, and rebuilding relationships. Through real-life case studies and reflection exercises, it empowers readers to see themselves not as broken, but as capable of recovery, resilience, and creating a life they no longer want to escape.
