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

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

我的抑郁情况持续了6年,09年开始,15年初暂时结束,期间好转过一两年,有过两段频繁崩溃的时期。 第一段崩溃发生在大一第二学期开学,那个时候我出现了抑郁症的典型症状:厌食、失眠、大量的噩梦,对一切事情都只感觉到绝望。 我缺席了补考,独自一个人绕着学校走,慢走、调整...

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...

略長,挺全麵的,看到作者在Ted關於抑鬱癥的演講,非常富有詩意和感染力,作者本人文字功底不錯,案例充足

评分

Very exhaustive. A bit vague though.

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.
