Summary:
"For years,
Heather
B
.
Armstrong
has alluded to her struggle with depression on her website, dooce. It's scattered throughout her archive, where it weaves its way through posts about pop culture, music, and motherhood. But in 2016,
Heather
found herself in the depths of a depression she just couldn't shake, an episode darker and longer than anything she had previously experienced...
Heather
decided to risk it all by participating in an experimental clinical trial involving a chemically induced coma approximating brain death. Now, for the first time,
Heather
recalls the torturous eighteen months of suicidal depression she endured and the month-long experimental study in which doctors used propofol anesthesia to quiet all brain activity for a full fifteen minutes before bringing her back from a flatline. Ten times. The experience wasn't easy. Not for
Heather
or her family. But a switch was flipped, and
Heather
hasn't experienced a single moment of suicidal depression since."--From publisher.
