À propos de cet audio

 The Noonday Demon is Andrew Solomon’s National Book Award-winning, bestselling, and transformative masterpiece on depression—“the book for a generation, elegantly written, meticulously researched, empathetic, and enlightening” (Time)—now with a major new chapter covering recently introduced and novel treatments, suicide and anti-depressants, pregnancy and depression, and much more.

The Noonday Demon examines depression in personal, cultural, and scientific terms. Drawing on his own struggles with the illness and interviews with fellow sufferers, doctors and scientists, policy makers and politicians, drug designers, and philosophers, Andrew Solomon reveals the subtle complexities and sheer agony of the disease as well as the reasons for hope. He confronts the challenge of defining the illness and describes the vast range of available medications and treatments, and the impact the malady has on various demographic populations—around the world and throughout history. He also explores the thorny patch of moral and ethical questions posed by biological explanations for mental illness. With uncommon humanity, candor, wit and erudition, award-winning author Solomon takes readers on a journey of incomparable range and resonance into the most pervasive of family secrets. His contribution to our understanding not only of mental illness but also of the human condition is truly stunning.

The topic is heavy and many histories in it are heavy. Indeed it is an unpleasant topic and the author is very direct in his talk. I felt it was helpful, tho, from a person who deals with depression and wonder about the topic constantly. Is also good not feeling so lonely in front of our challenges. Triggering, but good overall.

Unpleasant, but enlightening

As someone who has suffered from depression for many, many years, this book was a game changer for me - both in terms of learning more about the disease and in terms of listening to someone who so vividly and accurately describes what depression feels like. It was the first time in my life that I heard, in words, what it is to feel depression. I care not that the audible version is condensed One of my issues when depressed is concentration - I’d rather have access to this information in a condensed form than not have any information at all. Given this book was published almost 20 years ago, I can’t help but wonder what, if anything has changed. I would love for Mr. Solomon to write a follow up.

A masterpiece!!!

WOW. Truly this is an atlas that aids us in navigating our way through the complexi and vast nature of an all too common human condition. I was surprised at the end to find out that this audio version is abridged because the presentation covers it all. Some may find the voice of the reader unique at first but soon the voice perfectly serves to communicate what we all need to take in. Full disclosure: I have personally experienced depression and anxiety for the last 14 years of my life. This resource helped orient me beyond my knowledge and experience. I will refer others to this book so that they, like I can learn more deeply and relate to others more empathically.

comprehensive and compelling!

Andrew Solomon tackles on a challenging topic with nuance, empathy and insight. While he has a personal stake in the discussion of depression and leverages his own experience fighting it, he nonetheless does not make the book about himself. I highly recommend this book to anyone either debilitated by the 'Noonday Demon' or attempting to gain understanding in order to help a suffering friend or a family member.

A humbling experience
