WITH A NEW EPILOGUE BY THE AUTHOR Like Primo Levi's The Periodic
Table, The Noonday Demon digs deep into personal history, as Andrew
Solomon narrates, brilliantly and terrifyingly, his own agonising
experience of depression. Solomon also portrays the pain of others,
in different cultures and societies whose lives have been shattered
by depression and uncovers the historical, social, biological,
chemical and medical implications of this crippling disease. He
takes us through the halls of mental hospitals where some of his
subjects have been imprisoned for decades; into the research labs;
to the burdened and afflicted poor, rural and urban. He talks to
faith healers and voyages around the world in a quest for folk
wisdom. He analyses the medications of today as well as reviewing
the politics of diagnosis and treatment and, perhaps most
significantly, he looks at the vital role of will and love in the
process of recovery. **ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE
21st CENTURY**
