Dr. Dave has organized a seminar that gives you the high ground in the battle of the mind.  Click on any link and push your mind in a positive direction.

A positive mind isn't an accident; it's something you do on purpose.  In order to have a positive mind, you need to reestablish command and control over your mind, and develop a persistently positive focus.

The Defeat Depression Seminar asks more than 100 questions about your life and how you run your mind.  The seminar contains links to Zero Tolerance to Negative Thinking where you will find answers to each question.

You are not helpless and your life is not hopeless.  In your hands, you have everything you need to have a positive mind. Go through the seminar and apply its lessons to your life.

Depression doesn’t go away on its own.   If you want to get better and stay better, it’s up to you to make it happen.  No one else can do it for you.  You are the only one who can tack an eviction notice on the door of your mind and send depression packing.

In your hands you have everything you need to have a positive mind. A simple click of the mouse sends you on the path to a positive mind.  Your journey out of the Land of Depression begins with a single step.  It's time to take that step and head in a new direction.  A new beginning creates a new ending.  Every new thought that you put into your mind changes the course of your life.  New thoughts create new emotions, and when you keep at it, you become a different person with a new life.  You get a new way of thinking, feeling and living.

It doesn’t matter whether you go through this seminar by yourself or with the help of other people.  What’s important is that you go through it and apply its lessons.  Your life will never be the same.

As you go through each question, take action on each item.

If you are seriously depressed or are having suicidal thoughts, you should consult a doctor before using this seminar.
