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

看到这本书之前我经历的接近半年的抑郁。不用说身边的朋友,即使我自己也不愿承认自己是抑郁症。正如这本书的名字 The Noonday Demon 白日恶魔。开始我自认为只是消极,现在按照书里的定义,这种情况持续2周以上就应该去看医生了。而我是从夏天等到了冬天,直到寒假回家与家人...

忧郁带来的不只痛苦,还有孤独。 在承受忧郁带来的一系列心灵困扰的同时,也要面对无法将忧郁与人言说的痛苦。 忧郁是一种封闭的状态。身处其中的人也未必能窥得其全貌,又怎能与人言说呢? 另外,说出去又能收获什么,是释放压力吗,还是收获同情,更普遍的,我们会怀疑当自己...

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...

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。

先標個英文版,等理想國的新譯本。讀這本書仿佛經曆一場悲傷脫敏。不是所有人都患有臨床抑鬱,但是每個人都有自己無力的方麵。用悲傷來習慣悲傷,以見證更多的無力來麻痹自己的無力。就像書中的一個例子,醫生告訴小孩,把腦袋的疼痛放在一個角落,用其他部分做事情。讀完也會能以更多的視角看待自己的情緒、對於世事的無奈,雖然不願承認,但這些東西也在對我發揮一些積極作用。
