hi dj
is William Styron the American journalist working in Toronto who suffered so terribly from depression. if so, I read that book, and yes it was great. I have to admit what I remember now, other than that I enjoyed it, is how passive he was about trying to get rid of his depression.
About Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln - I've think I've seen them both listed as having manic depression, depression and ADD (not Lincoln for ADD). Every mental illness must want them as their posterboys, or maybe it's just hard to diagnose someone after they die.

ps. Glad those people helped you. wish I could find my Wong & Mc(i forget).
