challenging reflective slow-paced

3.0

This had some really good points but I wish it had just focused on the social and psychological causes and cures for depression which was its strength rather than do much attacking on anti-depressants... yes they did not work for the author but they do work for others - especially when combined with good therapy. He was just prescribed them without much therapy support so of course they were less than useful for him. Antidepressants are supposed to go hand and hand with therapy not just by themselves.

This book gives an interesting take on mental health issues and their medications. It is more of a biography of the author than a scientific book. Some stories I've liked, some I didn't. 
I assume it would be triggering to read it you're currently affected by depression. Don't spend your money on this.
