Overcoming double depression : a memoir

1st Counterpoint ed.

xxii, 184 p. ; 24 cm.

"A bracing and fresh look at a lifelong struggle with depression and mental illness. Expanded from Bethanne’s popular ELLE piece, Life B is a powerful meditation on how to navigate through the stubborn, thorny roots that engulf mental illness, and how to fight for a path to recovery. Recognizing the intergenerational effects of trauma and mental health struggles, Bethanne unearths the stories of her past -- through her grandmother, her mother, her sister -- in order to forge a better future for her two daughters, dismantling the stigmas surrounding mental illness in the process. With the acute self-awareness of Kay Redfield Jamison’s An Unquiet Mind and the honesty and vulnerability of Daphne Merkin’s This Close to Happy, Life B is Prozac Nation for baby boomers. It’s an intimate portrait we haven’t yet seen -- of a lifelong struggle with depression, of midlife diagnosis and renewal and late-found strength. and, most importantly, a life-affirming blueprint of how to accept it and live alongside it."--Publisher.
