5.0 out of 5 stars
The journey out of depression as lived by... a psychologist, July 28, 2000
This review is from: Holiday of Darkness: A Psychologist's Personal Journey Out of His Depression (Paperback)
I do believe that this book takes a whole new dimension by the fact that the author... both LIVED and lived THROUGH a depression AND is... a psychologist. He therefore has the academic knowledge as well as the life experience to express the "Holiday of Darkness".
Another interesting fact... is that he was a "stable, athletic man, at the height of his career" when depression struck. So I believe it removes the stigma or prejudices that people may sometimes have on people that come to suffer from depression.
It is not only an account; chapters cover treatment and treatment alternatives and finishes off with a very encouraging chapter "Where do we go from here".. that hints that there IS light after darkness.. Depression IS treateable! "eminently treatable" to quote the author!
