Thoughtful and thought-provoking inquiry into the nature of depressive illness. Karp's interviews and insights really capture the essence of what it feels like to be depressed and exactly how difficult it is to find one's way through it. Excellent analysis of the interplay of culture and self with regards to identity management, medication decisions, family involvement, and societal pressure to conform to a Western treatment model.
