Book Description

Flagging the Therapy: Pathways Out of Depression and Anxiety follows on from Dr Barry’s best-selling book, Flagging the Problem. As society undergoes rapid change and we face perhaps the bleakest economic conditions in modern memory, it is not surprising that the issue of mental health has become more prominent and somewhat more openly discussed. The problems of depression and anxiety seem to be the most prevalent with often debilitating effects on the sufferers and their families. However, in many cases, these afflictions can be treated and risks of recurrence significantly reduced. Applying a system which uses color-coded flags for various mental states and problems, Dr. Barry explains the role our minds and brains play in the manifestation of depression and anxiety, and how these in turn can be shaped to lead us out of illness. The book takes a holistic view and examines the numerous medical, psychological and complimentary therapies that can all help in negotiating a pathway out of depression and anxiety. There are color illustrations and extra appendices at the end of the book including information on self-help groups and resources available.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Dr Barry’s first book was truly unique. In Flagging the Therapy, he develops his highly accessible approach to mental health with a particular emphasis on how different treatments for depression, anxiety and other psychological problems work. Another superb contribution from one of Ireland’s most insightful doctors. –Dr Muiris Houston, Medical Correspondent, The Irish Times

Flagging the Therapy is a wonderfully insightful book that helps people understand themselves, their anxiety and depression, and gives them the chance to embrace life again. –Cathy Kelly, Author and UNICEF Ambassador

Dr Barry has written a fascinating and information-packed tour of mental-health therapies. He takes us through the science of emotional problems and describes this complex topic using easy-to-understand concepts and language. The tone brims over with his enthusiasm, wisdom, and everyday experiences as a treating clinician. Throughout, the emphasis is on the holistic approach, and he couples the research evidence with his personal views when assessing the effectiveness of the bewildering range of medication and talking-therapy choices facing anybody with anxiety or depression today. Flagging the Therapy will help making the right treatment choices easier. –Prof. Patrick McKeon, AWARE

The complementary actions of talking and drug therapies are a powerful argument for a combined approach to the treatment of depression…Indeed, elsewhere in the book, Barry explores the additional benefits of diet and exercise in helping and maintaining recovery. Throughout the book, Harry Barry remains committed to a holistic approach to treatment, using what s best for the individual. –Dr Muiris Houston – The Irish Times

I’m not even going to tell you the price of the book because it doesn’t matter – you should just buy it. –George Hook – The Right Hook, Newstalk
