Description

Depression transformed Martha Manning's life from one of happiness and success to a state of despair. In "Undercurrents", she chronicles her journey through journal entries that are both humorous and heartbreaking. Manning's experiences with severe clinical depression are raw and honest, offering a unique insight into the depths of this condition. Her struggles with everyday tasks, such as household chores and work deadlines, are juxtaposed with the terror of living with suicidal thoughts. As she grapples with her diagnosis, Manning must confront the limitations of conventional treatments and consider alternative options. This book is a powerful exploration of one woman's struggle with depression, written in a style that is both engaging and thought-provoking.
