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

我也不知道看明白这本书是不是值得骄傲的事情。 只是太多的事情,除了我们,别人没法了解。作者不愧是畅销书作家,自己的经历写得栩栩如生不说,并且颇有实践价值,可以作为轻度抑郁的治疗指南。欣赏他对于吃药的科学态度。 大部分篇幅没有这么多意义,只是倾诉而已,对特别的...

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...

很久没有读过如此沉重的书。 没有给力荐,因为我真心希望,你不需要去读这一本书。 癌症是从微尘开始生长吞噬你的巨龙。心脏病是在你阴影里偷偷尾随不知何时发难的死神。而抑郁症,就是在正午的阳光下,微笑着敲开你房门的恶魔。 你看得见它,你了解它,它就像浮士德的朋友梅菲...

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...

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。

well researched and full of compassion

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

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