Lost Connections: Why You're Depressed and How to Find Hope
by Johann Hari
It's strange when the book you need more than any other finds you.
This incredibly well researched book takes a look at the antidepressant industry and then in a heartbeat tells you what things other than simply biology, are making us stare longingly into the bottom of a river in the dark, weighing up whether or not the intensity of death would outweigh the constant relentless pain of the day to day.
The journey of the read was more efficient at motivating me to help myself and others than any of the Fluoxetine I'd been given, and even though I doubled my dose of reading, I never spent two days vomiting myself to death with Seratonin syndrome like I did with Prozac.
The chapters about what has inspired, or at least maintained my depression were interesting and some of them rang so true that I got tinnitus.
Highly recommended even if you aren't plagued by anxiety or depression, and just feel a bit blegh sometimes.
