Summary
I felt that after reading this book, I understand a lot more about mental health, and the effects on people. There are explanations about what depression really is, things that could cause people to fall into depression, things they avoided when they were feeling low, things that helped them get out of it, and a lot more. My favourite analogy about depression is written by Eoin Colfer, ‘Depression is like a dark cloud that can settle on any hilltop. No, wait, I’ve got a better simile: depression is like a Brighton seagull. It doesn’t care who it poops on.’ There are lots of things that are thought-provoking, and stories that I could relate too.
