Author Biography

Mark Liptak, the author of "The Original Depression Handbook: A Complete Guide to Understanding and Treating Depression" lived with untreated depression for 55 years. Despite this infliction, he graduated from LeMoyne College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and from Onondaga Community College with an Associate's Degree in Nursing. He currently lives in Memphis, NY along the Seneca River with his wife.

Being reasonably successful throughout his career, his depression cost him several jobs and a 28-year marriage that ended in divorce. For years he self-medicated with cigarettes and alcohol not realizing why he always felt so sad, lonely, and worthless. From this, the idea for a depression handbook was born in the hopes that the journey he had traveled could be avoided by others.
