I highly recommond THE NOON DAY DEMON an Atlas of Depression by Andrew Solomon to anyone suffer from depression. Mr. Solomon is a medical journalist who also suffers from depression. The book is written for the average reader. I had read several books about depression when I was first diagnosed. They all left me with unanswered questions. After reading Mr. Solomon's book, I had no more questions. He had answered all of them and then some. He discusses the various types of depression and the various types of treatments that are available. I hope that every one in our community will read this book.
Thanks for the recommendation, Evergreen. I have bought this book, but it's still sitting on my shelf , unread. I heard a radio program on the weekend that Andrew Solomon was on. So I guess someone is trying to tell me to read this book.
