Review title: a disservice to depressed people
Product review: Personally, I am not convinced that Elisabeth Wurtzel suffers from depression. I am not a mental health professional, but have have a degree in biology and have read extensively on the topic. Sure, she has depressive symptoms, but her main problem appears to be more in line with a personality disorder, borderline or narcissistic. That would best explain the superficial charm, grandiosity, self-senteredness and erratic projections of anger that are evident in the book, as well as her chaotic lifestyle choices over the years. She is doing disservice to bona fide depression by promoting a stereotype of depressed people being whiny and self-centered. I think it is pretty outrageous that she is now a poster child for this condition, and actively promotes exclusively pharma-based treatments to impressionable young adults. The writing itself is terrible, sloppy and pretentious. Don't waste your time on this book.
