恐惧是内心的困兽,愈是喂养它便愈发强壮,直到有一天跑出来,吞掉你。 记得大一上学期还没过半,班上说是要转来一位男同学,教室即刻炸了锅。作为稀有存在的男性物种,一直是外语专业的焦点话题,种种臆测为转学生罩上了一层又一层的诡异光环——直到他本人出现在大家眼前。...
评分适当忧郁是正常美丽的,但是如果成为病态确实很可怕. 两者之间是如何转化的呢? 那些敏感的头脑,为人类带来更多的思想,很可怜地更容易受这种病的侵扰。 尽管有很重要的天生遗传成分,但是,忧郁转化为症难道就不能自控预防吗? 很同情
评分我也不知道看明白这本书是不是值得骄傲的事情。 只是太多的事情,除了我们,别人没法了解。作者不愧是畅销书作家,自己的经历写得栩栩如生不说,并且颇有实践价值,可以作为轻度抑郁的治疗指南。欣赏他对于吃药的科学态度。 大部分篇幅没有这么多意义,只是倾诉而已,对特别的...

Sometimes, the legacy of depression includes a wisdom beyond one's years, a depth of passion unexperienced by those who haven't traveled to hell and back. Off the charts in its enlightening, comprehensive analysis of this pervasive yet misunderstood condition, The Noonday Demon forges a long, brambly path through the subject of depression--exposing all the discordant views and "answers" offered by science, philosophy, law, psychology, literature, art, and history. The result is a sprawling and thoroughly engrossing study, brilliantly synthesized by author Andrew Solomon.
Deceptively simple chapter titles (including "Breakdowns," "Treatments," "Addiction," "Suicide") each sit modestly atop a virtual avalanche of Solomon's intellect. This is not a book to be skimmed. But Solomon commands the language--and his topic--with such grace and empathy that the constant flow of references, poems, and quotations in his paragraphs arrive like welcome dinner guests. A longtime sufferer of severe depression himself, Solomon willingly shares his life story with readers. He discusses updated information on various drugs and treatment approaches while detailing his own trials with them. He describes a pharmaceutical company's surreal stage production (involving Pink Floyd, kick dancers, and an opener à la Cats) promoting a new antidepressant to their sales team. He chronicles his research visits to assorted mental institutions, which left him feeling he would "much rather engage with every manner of private despair than spend a protracted time" there. Under Solomon's care, however, such tales offer much more than shock value. They show that depression knows no social boundaries, manifests itself quite differently in each person, and has become political. And, while it may worsen or improve, depression will never be eradicated. Hope lies in finding ways--as Solomon clearly has--to harness its powerful lessons. --Liane Thomas
等待,静静等待,痛苦的时刻一定会过去的。
评分先标个英文版,等理想国的新译本。读这本书仿佛经历一场悲伤脱敏。不是所有人都患有临床抑郁,但是每个人都有自己无力的方面。用悲伤来习惯悲伤,以见证更多的无力来麻痹自己的无力。就像书中的一个例子,医生告诉小孩,把脑袋的疼痛放在一个角落,用其他部分做事情。读完也会能以更多的视角看待自己的情绪、对于世事的无奈,虽然不愿承认,但这些东西也在对我发挥一些积极作用。
评分等待,静静等待,痛苦的时刻一定会过去的。
评分it drains your vitality, your verve, your brio. which is why why all have an urge in our solar plexus to make our pain visible.
评分很多细节,很多讨论。富裕真的能带来幸福吗?我有时觉得心慌,可是看到本科教学楼厕所里面的诗歌和成熟的政治讨论,对比我们公教一里面的骂人的话,就觉得富裕也许至少会带来不别扭吧。我要去照一照厕所里的话,可是已经暑假了,也许全都擦掉了
