Reading About Depression
If you or anyone you know is suffering from depression, here are some books I've found to be helpful and have passed along to friends and family in an effort to help them TRY to understand how this illness works...
• The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression by Andrew Solomon
• Unholy Ghost: Writers on Depression by Nell Casey
• Speaking of Sadness: Depression, Disconnection, and the Meanings of Illness by David A. Karp
• An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness
• Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness by William Styron
