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

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...

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...

恐惧是内心的困兽,愈是喂养它便愈发强壮,直到有一天跑出来,吞掉你。 记得大一上学期还没过半,班上说是要转来一位男同学,教室即刻炸了锅。作为稀有存在的男性物种,一直是外语专业的焦点话题,种种臆测为转学生罩上了一层又一层的诡异光环——直到他本人出现在大家眼前。...

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...  

評分

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...

前後看瞭兩個多月,心情很復雜。身為旁觀者都覺得如此難過,深陷其中的人到底是在經曆怎樣的痛苦呢。以前總以為很多事可以用邏輯來解釋,很多行為可以用意誌力來控製,其實不是的,很多時候,正是這些無法解釋和不可控製讓人陷入一個更可怕的死循環。希望大傢都足夠幸運,如果不夠幸運,那就盡量勇敢吧。

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

it drains your vitality, your verve, your brio. which is why why all have an urge in our solar plexus to make our pain visible.

很多細節,很多討論。富裕真的能帶來幸福嗎?我有時覺得心慌,可是看到本科教學樓廁所裏麵的詩歌和成熟的政治討論,對比我們公教一裏麵的罵人的話,就覺得富裕也許至少會帶來不彆扭吧。我要去照一照廁所裏的話,可是已經暑假瞭,也許全都擦掉瞭

Very exhaustive. A bit vague though.
