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

刚从同行手里接过这部书就很喜欢这个名字——“走出忧郁”,走出来,治好了总是一件让人高兴的事,这是一个好的结果,在问题出现的时候,我们总是习惯问结果怎么样——而这正是一个拥有完美结果的故事。 我其实不想谈忧郁症这件事,因为谈这些事的人很多,现在忧郁本身已经成为...

适当忧郁是正常美丽的,但是如果成为病态确实很可怕. 两者之间是如何转化的呢? 那些敏感的头脑,为人类带来更多的思想,很可怜地更容易受这种病的侵扰。 尽管有很重要的天生遗传成分,但是,忧郁转化为症难道就不能自控预防吗? 很同情

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...

看这本书的是时候是在南京,那时候每天状态很差,晚上睡觉头痛,半夜躲被子里哭,白天脸苍白被人说像个死人,浑浑噩噩的。 现在离家近了,我自己租在外面,每个星期回家一次,但是反而不像以前那样厉害了。 有时候回到我住的地方,躺在床上我起不来,可以说...

前后看了两个多月,心情很复杂。身为旁观者都觉得如此难过,深陷其中的人到底是在经历怎样的痛苦呢。以前总以为很多事可以用逻辑来解释,很多行为可以用意志力来控制,其实不是的,很多时候,正是这些无法解释和不可控制让人陷入一个更可怕的死循环。希望大家都足够幸运,如果不够幸运,那就尽量勇敢吧。

well researched and full of compassion

先标个英文版,等理想国的新译本。读这本书仿佛经历一场悲伤脱敏。不是所有人都患有临床抑郁,但是每个人都有自己无力的方面。用悲伤来习惯悲伤,以见证更多的无力来麻痹自己的无力。就像书中的一个例子,医生告诉小孩,把脑袋的疼痛放在一个角落,用其他部分做事情。读完也会能以更多的视角看待自己的情绪、对于世事的无奈,虽然不愿承认,但这些东西也在对我发挥一些积极作用。

等待,静静等待,痛苦的时刻一定会过去的。
