Brave and honest ... It must have been terribly painful to write it. But, golly, am I glad that Sally Brampton did * Independent *
She writes of her despair with such fluidity and lyricism * Observer *
Brampton's obsessively honest, angry account ... aims to explode the myth that depression happens only to losers ... This brave and moving memoir challenges all the cliches about mental illness ...
