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

看完这本书的时候我刚刚开始吃药2个星期。退了精神科医生推荐的Intensive Outpatient Program,没有回复咨询师和医生的电话和邮件,只是每天乖乖吃药,平静地呼吸。 正好是新的一年,网络上的一切都提醒着自己要回忆过去展望未来。想到去年这个时候我在漆黑一片空无一人的足球...

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...

忧郁没那么可怕。 “在忧郁中成长的人,可以从痛苦经验中培养精神世界的深度,这就是潘朵拉的盒子最底下那带着翅膀的东西” 如作者所言,能够探索到一些自我内部东西,让你能以另外的眼光看待世界或他人,尽管这个代价有些高。 “哀伤是因为在某种处境下产生了忧郁,而忧郁症...

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...

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...

很多细节,很多讨论。富裕真的能带来幸福吗?我有时觉得心慌,可是看到本科教学楼厕所里面的诗歌和成熟的政治讨论,对比我们公教一里面的骂人的话,就觉得富裕也许至少会带来不别扭吧。我要去照一照厕所里的话,可是已经暑假了,也许全都擦掉了

评分

三星半,有些地方也太啰嗦了。个人的案例混合得都找不到主线和逻辑

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

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

Very exhaustive. A bit vague though.
