Depression kan føles som en negativ spiral af tristhed, træthed og apati. ‘Den positive spiral’ tilbyder viden om depression på et neurovidenskabeligt grundlag samt enkle redskaber til, hvordan man trin for trin kan vende den negative spiral til en positiv. Neuroforsker Alex Korb formår på en levende måde at afmystificere, hvad det er der sker i den depressive hjerne. Det er en pointe i bogen, at der ikke er noget quick fix, når det gælder depression, men at bittesmå ændringer i hverdagen helt konkret kan skabe en positiv forandring i hjernen, der kan være med til at vende udviklingen.
