Sometimes, the legacy of depression includes a wisdom beyond one's years, a depth of passion unexperienced by those who haven't traveled to hell and back. Off the charts in its enlightening, comprehensive analysis of this pervasive yet misunderstood condition, The Noonday Demon forges a long, brambly path through the subject of depression--exposing all the discordant views and "answers" offered by science, philosophy, law, psychology, literature, art, and history. The result is a sprawling and thoroughly engrossing study, brilliantly synthesized by author Andrew Solomon.

Deceptively simple chapter titles (including "Breakdowns," "Treatments," "Addiction," "Suicide") each sit modestly atop a virtual avalanche of Solomon's intellect. This is not a book to be skimmed. But Solomon commands the language--and his topic--with such grace and empathy that the constant flow of references, poems, and quotations in his paragraphs arrive like welcome dinner guests. A longtime sufferer of severe depression himself, Solomon willingly shares his life story with readers. He discusses updated information on various drugs and treatment approaches while detailing his own trials with them. He describes a pharmaceutical company's surreal stage production (involving Pink Floyd, kick dancers, and an opener à la Cats) promoting a new antidepressant to their sales team. He chronicles his research visits to assorted mental institutions, which left him feeling he would "much rather engage with every manner of private despair than spend a protracted time" there. Under Solomon's care, however, such tales offer much more than shock value. They show that depression knows no social boundaries, manifests itself quite differently in each person, and has become political. And, while it may worsen or improve, depression will never be eradicated. Hope lies in finding ways--as Solomon clearly has--to harness its powerful lessons. --Liane Thomas

误解,有多少是来自不了解,不愿意了解或者说回避这个问题。从我开始看《忧郁》这本书开始,每一个看到书名的人都不约而同地对我说同一个意思的话——这种书还是少看,越看越容易陷进去,本来没什么看看就觉得有什么,然后就出不来了。或者说这种书我不敢看,怕自己会陷落进去...

忧郁症绝对不是你某天起床后对工作的忧虑或者某个下午失恋后的痛苦。 只有忧郁症患者才能真正理解忧郁症患者,即使受过治疗忧郁症训练的心理医生,如果没有感知过忧郁症带来的恐惧,治疗永远就只能停留在生理的解释上,不可能真的穿透这两个完全隔绝的精神世界。同理,一本如果...

第二次看《忧郁》,哭了很多次,有时是为了抑郁症患者那种深深的绝望、对自己的厌恶而悲伤;更多的时候,是为了经历如此悲惨之人能够有机会得到救赎,超越自己的苦难而感动。 写出这本书的重要意义,诚如作者所说,抑郁症患者是不太会去寻求帮助,不容易引起关注的一群人,所...

其实还挺忙的,三十了按说不该想些东西了,但知道最近确实不是很好,以前在不好的时候,就会去做很多努力想要有一些改变,直到看过了《忧郁》,和一两个同样经历的人分享,也知道了这是一生的战斗。 现在会淡一些,心/灵类的书是最近的一些伴侣,静坐,让自己从武装得太好的头...

炎热的盛夏终于走了,可是秋老虎依然发威,烦闷、燥热,让人对这个本该收获的季节也喜欢不起来。 其实这样的日子年复一年,年年有之,可是每当这个时候,依然免不了在相似的天气里,心情不由自主地躁动不安,莫名地升起一股忧伤的情绪。 曾经有一段时间里,正是在这个时节里...

略长,挺全面的,看到作者在Ted关于抑郁症的演讲,非常富有诗意和感染力,作者本人文字功底不错,案例充足

评分

it drains your vitality, your verve, your brio. which is why why all have an urge in our solar plexus to make our pain visible.

评分

In a nutshell, depression sucks and anti-depressant helps. You expect poems from Andrew Solomon but instead you get plain accounts and medical reports.

评分

读完了 才发现 那些周边喊着的忧郁的人 大多都是闲的无病呻吟
