My Review:
I am so happy to have had the chance to read this book. I love the fact that a psychologist that has actually experienced this darkness is the one that wrote it. I loved that she shared her own experiences as someone who suffered depression as well as giving insight into the disease from the clinical side as well. I was glued to this book while experiencing many emotions as someone that continues to struggle with Major Depressive Disorder. It never felt preached with just suggestions on what do do if you are dealing with it, and this would be a great book to share with friends and family members so they can get a better idea of what someone actually goes through. I highly recommend this book.
