"I was ashamed.nbsp;nbsp;It was a confession of weakness.nbsp;nbsp;For years, depression meant the crazy house.nbsp;nbsp;As I look back at it, [my shame] just seems damned foolishness, which is one reason I talk about it now." --Mike Wallace "Toward the end I couldn't get up. I just physically couldn't." --Kitty Dukakis They have made the impossible climb into the spotlight and attained their brightest dreams.nbsp;nbsp;But for Mike Wallace, Kitty Dukakis, William Styron, Joan Rivers, and countless other people struggling against the debilitating effects of depression, life's most challenging battle is waged not in the public eye, but in the darkest recesses of the mind.nbsp;nbsp;In her brilliant new work, Kathy Cronkite gives voice to dozens of celebrated professionals who have endured--and conquered--the hopelessness of chronic depression.nbsp;nbsp;Most of all, this courageous book brings a ray of hope to the 24 million Americans who live in the shadows of this misunderstood disease, yet bravely seek a path toward the light.nbsp;nbsp;You will learn: What to do when the sadness won't go away.

In this passionate, riveting book, Cronkite deepens our understanding of an increasingly recognized malady, clinical depression. The feeling of hopelessness, lack of self-esteem, and other symptoms that are its hallmarks are frequently accepted as "normal" and so are left untreated. By interviewing famous personalities such as Joan Rivers, Rod Steiger, and Jules Fieffer--all of whom reveal their intimate battles with depression--Cronkite helps remove the stigma associated with this ailment. She touches on every aspect of depression, including denial, feelings of guilt and shame, links with creativity, genetic influences, the rejection of help from loved ones, effects on family members, and incidence in young people and the elderly. Her interviews with medical professionals provide important pointers in understanding and identifying depressive illness. This outstanding, uplifting resource is recommended for most collections. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 11/15/93.
