Bibliotherapy: Can reading help treat your depression?

It can sometimes help maintain minimal functioning once I’ve got some fuel in the tank. But when the tank is empty and I’m in the depths of my depression, I can barely lift my head off the pillow let alone read a book.

I second that. A book is like, you're embarking on a journey. You're seated in a vehicle and there's a potential to stir your direction..
I always loved books 📚 but some years I'm taking breaks from them, then getting back.
I've never been an extensive reader, apart from a couple of years in my life. But books have always been around and now I'm reading one, was gifted one and there's a third one pending to be read :) And actually I want to order a couple soon...:)

I wouldn't care about reading if I'm in depression. I can bet on that.
