A searing, raw memoir of depression that is ultimately uplifting and inspiring. A successful magazine editor and prize-winning journalist, Sally Brampton launched Elle magazine in the UK in 1985. But behind the successful, glamorous career was a story that many of her friends and colleagues knew nothing about—her ongoing struggle with severe depression and alcoholism. Brampton's is a candid, tremendously honest telling of how she was finally able to "address the elephant in the room," and of a culture that sends the overriding message that people who suffer from depression are somehow responsible for their own illness. She offers readers a unique perspective of depression from the inside that is at times wrenching, but ultimately inspirational, as it charts her own coming back to life. Beyond her personal story, Brampton offers practical advice to all those affected by this illness. This book will resonate with any person whose life has been haunted by depression, at the same time offering help and understanding to those whose loved ones suffer from this debilitating condition. .

評分ibook,綠色封麵版,不過這個條目人多。第一本真正意義上看完的英文書。書中經常拿齣學術研究,並反復強調抑鬱跟遺傳和基因有關,這多少有點難以接受。書最後落點落在針灸和佛學,讓一個我中國人看瞭覺得挺特彆。既然作者康復瞭,不管什麼都是好的。其實按照外國人對抑鬱癥的定義,絕大多數中國人都至少有輕度抑鬱。
