Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me: Depression in the First Person
by Anna Mehler Paperny
*** I absolutely would NOT recommend this book to anyone currently struggling with their own mental health- particularly depression or suicidal thinking or planning, as I believe it would be highly triggering. ***
The author’s approach was not for me. I’m fully in agreenance that there is an absolute need to reduce the stigma related to mental health treatment but there were too many offside comments for me (related to domestic abuse, referring to co-patients as “nutjobs” and “basketcases”). While I appreciate her perspective and sharing her experience with her own mental health treatment, I struggled with getting through this one.
