Some of it was indeed very disturbing and my husband questioned why I would read during a particulary down period. Maybe he was right. I don't know. I did find the book one of the most well written and moving books on depression I have ever read and I've read a lot of them. It helped me feel not so alone. The chapter on his mother's death was very, very powerful. However, I did not finish it. It is a book that you can skip around, pick and choose the chapters. I went straight through and bogged down on the History chapter.
Keep in mind, what works for him, may not be what works for you. If he is convinced that he will be on meds for the rest of his life, that may well be, but it doesn't mean you will have to be.
We will probably get a redirect to the Book forum.
