Saturns Schatten

For many years, this has been the standard work on the common illness of depression. Through his personal yet theoretical approach, Andrew Solomon has created a multifaceted portrayal of depression. "The Noonday Demon" offers concrete help and information for those affected and their families. Furthermore, it provides insights into a foreign world that, unfortunately, is becoming a reality for more and more people. Solomon goes beyond his own experiences, allowing other sufferers to share their voices, explaining various forms of therapy and the latest scientific findings. Updated and supplemented with a new chapter on postpartum depression. "Solomon's book is the unusual testimony of suffering - sincerity combined with enlightenment." John Berger. "Andrew Solomon gives us an unusual and fascinating insight into the dark side of our soul." Dani.
