Description

Lewis Wolpert's personal experience with depression led him to write this comprehensive investigation into its causes and treatments. A severe depressive episode had left him feeling suicidal, but recovery allowed him to tackle the stigma surrounding mental illness and find reliable information. With characteristic candour and determination, Wolpert explores the complexities of depression, discussing its impact on individuals and families. This paperback edition features a new introduction, where Wolpert reflects on the reaction to his book and television series, as well as his ongoing struggle with the condition. A valuable resource for those seeking understanding and support, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most devastating diseases affecting millions worldwide.
