The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression by Andrew Solomon

4.0

This book is a masterfully written tour de force of depression, furnished throughout with personal testimonies of many different people. It was a good read, despite being dated and US-centric (I skipped most of the Politics chapter and didn't have enough energy left for the long epilogue!). I particularly enjoyed the chapters on the history and evolution of depression.
