Antidepressant Skills Workbook

In order to start feeling better or to stay well it is important to think realistically. Antidepressant Skills at Work: Dealing with Mood Problems in the Workplace is a workbook that helps employees cope with mental health concerns and addiction. It contains a valuable section called Realistic Thinking, which aims to help employees begin to think in a fair and realistic way.

The section on Realistic Thinking will help you to:

• Accurately think about your current situation (seeing things as they are);
• Be fair about yourself (balanced view of the positive and negatives in your life); and
• Accurately assess your future (not exaggerating the chance of bad outcomes and ignoring the chance of positive outcomes).
