A good depression memoir. I found the passages where she wrote about religion difficult, but I recognise that this is my issue rather than a problem with the book per se. I did find some of the parallels she drew between aspects of christianity and mental health thought provoking.
I like that she presented depression as having a positive effect on life, forcing us to identify where we're pushing ourselves in the wrong direction; this is what I found to be the case with my first ‘big low'.
I appreciated the humour in her writing, though I'm not sure it lives up to being “a cheerful book about depression”
