Ipswich author shares her 26-year journey from depression to happiness

An Ipswich woman who overcame decades of depression is sharing her journey to happiness in a new book. Samantha Brook spent 26 years on anti-depressants before finding alternative approaches to wellbeing.

The big picture: Brook has transformed her personal experience into a mission to help others. She combines various therapeutic approaches, including NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), life coaching, and alternative wellness practices. Her work has been described as "magic" and "miraculous" by clients.

"I was on anti-depressants for over 26 years, and I've been off them for over six years now," says Brook. "I have learnt to be happy and am passionate about sharing what I've learnt with others."
