What People are Saying about "Depression Freedom"
“Groundbreaking”
“Annette Colby understands that the roots of depression reach into our very souls, and she has written this book to help uproot it. Her practical approach for facing and healing what she calls “Spiritual Depression” is nothing short of groundbreaking. Whether you are someone who struggles with depression or a professional who treats depression, this book is an invaluable resource.
Dr. Colby’s work doesn’t so much change how we think of depression, as it expands it. She is my favorite kind of author: someone with something very valuable to contribute, but who will never claim to have all the answers. (Anyone who makes such a claim, of course, cannot be trusted.)”

“Viable Solutions”
"Dr. Annette Colby's newest book is a candid, straightforward discussion of all aspects of spiritual depression. Going beyond the standard of simply listing the physical & mental effects of the process of depression, Dr. Colby gives us a glimpse at the reasons behind it. More importantly, however, she offers us a realistic expectation of the process, giving us viable solutions where each of us can more easily manage it and more forward, thereby allowing us to traverse the painful process more quickly. Reading this book, we discover that we are never alone, and that despite our perceptions to the contrary, there is always an end in sight to our pain."

“A Tale of Transformation”
In Depression Freedom, Dr. Colby offers an important perspective that one who is depressed rarely hears or reads about. Suffering can actually be a tool toward wholeness when we gain a much needed higher understanding and accept our spiritual identity. As we nurture the real Self, the unanswered questions are revealed and the disconnected feeling accompanying spiritual depression dissipates.
Dr. Colby is a beautiful and loving light generously and selflessly sharing her wisdom path leading to transformation. Her insights, experience and suggested techniques offer hope and the gift of understanding as she examines a deeper cause behind depression. The compassionate, intuitive thoughts and practical suggestions are lovingly presented in such a way that the reader will resonate and cooperate taking the necessary steps to overcome the obstacles that keep him in bondage. The journey she describes is a means to reach a higher state of self-awareness. It is a tale of transformation, which encourages the reader to be bold and trustingly step forth into a higher perspective of who he really is. Awareness and acknowledging the darkness of a spiritual identity crisis will eventually lead to the light. It is about honoring one’s self.
Change can be complex and uncomfortable but the discomfort pushes us into newness, a vibration of discovery, purpose and balance. When we choose balance, it feels like we are cleansed by a divine vacuum cleaner. The heightened energy removes everything that corrupts awareness and true happiness. Wholeness is about loving Self, the truth of our being. To begin this journey and finish successfully, it demands understanding and motivation. Words have the power to correct, transform, uplift, offer hope and give new life. Dr. Colby’s message has the power to fulfill the promise. “Depression Freedom” is a gift.
