At first I was expecting a biography type book but it wasnt like that despite what we learn about Solomans experience with depression. Its like the subtitle says 'An Atlas Of Depression' and you learn more about depression than Soloman. The Notes at the back show how thoroughly researched this topic has been.
Of the case studies of the victims of depression I thought Angel Starkey's was v-poignant although these are all sad tales.
