This book talks about depression. The author shares her darkest episodes dealing with it and in that process explains the origins of what society understands of this disease from its conception to nowadays. In here, she even talks about the origins of specific medicaments and the stories that marked her life while interacting with them. It’s quite an enlightening book to understand a profound concept.
