Linda Gask spent much of her career caring for other people's troubles as a psychiatrist. Eventually she turned her attention to her own depression and learned to look after herself as well. This memoir is told with candour and warmth, and it weaves her personal story together with accounts of her patients and the many different ways depression can shape their lives. The result is a thoughtful look at the illness from both sides of the consulting room.
