Depression is a havoc-wreaking illness that masquerades as personal failing and hijacks your life. After a major suicide attempt in her early twenties, Paperny set off on a journey to understand her condition, the dizzying array of medical treatments on offer, and a medical profession in search of answers. She maps competing schools of therapy, pharmacology, cutting-edge medicine; the pill-popping pitfalls of long-term treatment; the glaring unknowns and the institutional shortcomings that both patients and practitioners are up against. -- Adapted from front flap.
