After a year's worth of one major stressor after another, I have slipped into depression. I have been treated for about 12 years on and off for various anxiety disorders, and perhaps some "atypical depression" or other depression (mild to moderate). It depends on the pdoc.
As I begin this next phase of working on my problems, I thought I would read Solomon's Noonday Demon, which is highly regarded. I find the book incredibly frightening. I am about half way through and feel more hopeless than I could ever imagine.
Is this book accurate? Especially, in the areas of "incurable", must take multiple drugs for life, etc? I realize that some of us have it really bad, but is Solomon talking about the norm or what?
I need some support and measured opinions right now.
Regards,
BobS.
