_'An excellent book, the most objective short account I know of all
the various approaches to depression.'_ Anthony Storr
Several years ago, Lewis Wolpert had a severe episode of depression.
Despite a happy marriage and successful scientific career, he could
think only of suicide. When he did recover, he became aware of the
stigma attached to depression - and just how difficult it was to get
reliable information. With characteristic candour and determination he
set about writing this book, an acclaimed investigation into the
causes and treatments of depression, which formed the basis for a BBC
TV series.
This paperback edition features a new introduction, in which Wolpert
discusses the reaction to his book and BBC series, and recounts his
own recurring struggle with depression.
