«If you are looking for help, this is a great place to start, because it's so relevant.» - Lorraine Kelly
«Although we have come a long way, this debilitating, often terminal illness is still shockingly misunderstood. This is my story that you asked me to tell. Those who suffer from depression will understand and those who do not, I hope will learn how to do so.»
This is the book Denise Welch wished she had while she was exhausted and defeated after yet another visit from the Unwelcome Visitor - the name she gives to bouts of clinical depression she has suffered over the last 30 years. For so many, understanding their mental health is a plunge into the unknown, and they are left struggling with the physical and emotional consequences without any guidance or anyone to tell them «you are not alone and you can live a happy and successful life alongside your illness». In these pages, Denise reveals her ongoing journey from crisis to turning point and from self-destruction to self-acceptance. In her usual candid way, Denise brings her characteristic humor and honesty to a conversation that we urgently need to have, and shows readers that it is brave and courageous to be open and vulnerable, and that you can take back control.
