Book recommendation
The greatest book I ever read on depression was:
‘Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness’ by William Styron
I bought it last year after it was on a list that my psychiatrist gave me of book recommendations
Another one that I’m currently considering buying is ‘I Hate You - Don’t Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality’.. but I probably will go to my local bookstore to see if it’s there before buying it online.
It may seem weird that someone whom has ‘mental illnesses’ would read books about them, but it brings a sense of validation.. you don’t feel as much of an outsider for the fact a book was published bringing to light that you’re not alone.
I was curious as to if any of you have read good books regarding mental health?
