Product Description

In 1985, William Styron, author of "Sophie's Choice" and "The Confessions of Nat Turner", was overtaken by insomnia and a troubling sense of malaise - the first signs of a deep depression that would engulf his life and leave him on the brink of suicide. This is the story of that experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stark and moving description of depression, 17 May 2000
By A Customer
If anyone is wondering what depression feels like, this book is one man's answer. William Styron frankly and eloquently describes the internal torment that took him to the brink of suicide, then details how a spell in hospital and continued therapy and medication pulled him back to life.

Depression crept up on Styron at the height of his career. He had seen friends give in and take their own lives in the past, but had never expected to face the illness himself.

This is the book I recommend to family and friends who want to know how depression feels. Styron says it so much better than I can.
