I suffered from depression for the last 2 yrs and went to a book shop to find some information when i stumbled across this book, it's a thoroughly addictive read describing very similar symtoms to my own, and i could really relate to the way Elizabeth was feeling, i managed to get through most of the book but had to leave out a chapter near the end as it was just too harrowing for me to read in my delicate state of mind.A brilliant book that i would recommend to other depression sufferers.
