A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'Though we have come a long way this crippling, debilitating, often terminal illness is still shockingly misunderstood. This is my story that you have asked me to tell. Those who suffer from depression will understand and those who don't will hopefully learn how to.'
This is the story of Denise Welch, who found herself exhausted and defeated after yet another visit from the Unwelcome Visitor - the name she gives to the episodes of clinical depression she has experienced over the past 30 years. For many, understanding their mental health is a leap into the unknown, and they are left to face the physical and emotional consequences without guidance or someone to tell them 'you are not alone and you can live a happy and successful life despite your illness'. In these pages, Denise reveals her ongoing journey from collapse to escape and through self-destruction to self-acceptance.
Through her characteristic honesty and humor, Denise brings to the forefront a conversation we urgently need to have and shows readers that it is brave and bold to be open and vulnerable, and that you can regain control of your life.
