From the Introduction
Depression has a way of making itself feel permanent — as though the heaviness has always been there and always will be. That is one of its most persuasive lies. The writers in this collection know the lie from the inside, and they describe what it took to begin not quite believing it anymore.

A note before you read
This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.
About this volume
Inside this volume
Fifty first-person accounts trace the experience of depression in its many forms: the recognition that something was wrong, the search for help through therapy, medication, lifestyle change, and sometimes all three, the false starts and the longer recoveries, and the ordinary moments when something lifted, briefly or for good.
Who it's for
For those in the depths of depression or emerging from it, the partners and families trying to understand what they cannot see, and caregivers looking for language to bridge the distance.
