Hello I Want To Die Please Fix Me: Depression in… par Anna Mehler Paperny
I think I would have liked this book a lot more if it had been a memoir instead of an investigative look at depression. I found the first few chapters to be compelling, and the rest I feel I've already read before.
½after reading other reviews i'm glad i'm not the only one with mixed reactions to this book. i did think this book was very honest, informative and insightful. at the same though, it was a very dry read. and i'm glad i listened to it on audio, otherwise i think i would've stopped halfway through.
this book is half memoir half investigation/research and i found that to be super interesting. i enjoyed how honest and candid Anna Mehler Paperny was with her own story and ongoing struggle with depression. and her research/in-depth look into the mental health care industry was *insert two thumbs up*. especially the part where she talked about all the money that goes into cancer research, but the same is not for mental health/depression research.
overall, i found Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me to be moving and educative… (plus d'informations)

I loved how honest this book was and that it is Canadian! It did not feel biased for or against treatment. My favourite quote was
"I'm not a hopey-changey type. But hearing this inspires both a vicarious, celebratory joy and a murderous envy."
This is how I feel about most books about depression (especially the murderous envy part).

Journalist Paperny shows an intense, intimate look at acute depression, including her multiple attempts at suicide. This frank discussion is an exposé of depression and its treatment.
