Title: tells you how it is
Review: I suffered from depression and suicidal tendencies (and attempts) when I happened to find that book. What a coincidence. I was looking for Styron's 'Lie Down in Darkness' and found this one. It struck me that what Styron describes in 'Darkness Visible' was exactly how I felt in that very moment. My biggest problem was that people I thought were good friends turned away from me because they didn't understood my illness, thought I use the word 'illness' as an excuse to be lazy, or use it in order to blackmail them. Styron had the same experience. I wish more 'healthy' people would read this book. Less 'friends' would turn away.
