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。...
评分如果这本书的作者没有患过忧郁症,那么我是不会去读的,未经历过忧郁的人永远无法想象忧郁的状态。 MOTTO: 丧失了自杀的勇气,而它也不具备杀死我的力量 摧毁了我的意志,却又成为支撑我身体的另一种力量 曾以为放声大哭是人生最悲惨的状况,后来才发现眼泪流干后的无所适从,...
评分我的抑郁情况持续了6年,09年开始,15年初暂时结束,期间好转过一两年,有过两段频繁崩溃的时期。 第一段崩溃发生在大一第二学期开学,那个时候我出现了抑郁症的典型症状:厌食、失眠、大量的噩梦,对一切事情都只感觉到绝望。 我缺席了补考,独自一个人绕着学校走,慢走、调整...
评分忧郁没那么可怕。 “在忧郁中成长的人,可以从痛苦经验中培养精神世界的深度,这就是潘朵拉的盒子最底下那带着翅膀的东西” 如作者所言,能够探索到一些自我内部东西,让你能以另外的眼光看待世界或他人,尽管这个代价有些高。 “哀伤是因为在某种处境下产生了忧郁,而忧郁症...
评分看完这本书的时候我刚刚开始吃药2个星期。退了精神科医生推荐的Intensive Outpatient Program,没有回复咨询师和医生的电话和邮件,只是每天乖乖吃药,平静地呼吸。 正好是新的一年,网络上的一切都提醒着自己要回忆过去展望未来。想到去年这个时候我在漆黑一片空无一人的足球...

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
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

评分In a nutshell, depression sucks and anti-depressant helps. You expect poems from Andrew Solomon but instead you get plain accounts and medical reports.
