I'm Still Human: Understanding Depression With Kindness (Expanded Edition - 2021)

Comments by reviewers
This book has come together for all of us to learn about life – accepting,
loving and living meaningfully. All three parts of the book describe the core
components of a human being: Part 1, “Mind, knowledge, understanding,”
Part 2, “Heart, tears, pain, acceptance,” and Part 3, “Coming together,
kindness and love will prevail.” I have experienced tears, love and healing as
I was reading this whole book. Thank you Cheng Kar, Jasmine and everyone.
This book will reach deep into the hearts of many people, as it speaks the
truth about love and life.

This is an excellent book, with very useful and practical tips for people
suffering from depression, as well as for their caregivers. Dr. Phang is
correct in identifying kindness as the key to understanding depression.
Patients with depression need to be kind to themselves in order to overcome
this illness. Family and friends need to exhibit kindness in dealing with
patients suffering from depression. Jasmine’s journey through depression is
very touching and brings out a positive message - there is light at the end of
the tunnel, and people with depression should seek help and can recover.
This book also provides essential information on activities that are
conducted for “understanding depression with kindness.” All these efforts
are very practical and useful in giving hope and support to caregivers and
patients with depression who are looking for help, kindness and
understanding.

struggle and ways of coping, it will encourage those who suffer in silence to
