About this product

Product Information

Winner of the National Book Award and a Pulitzer Prize finalist, The Noonday Demon examines depression in personal, cultural, and scientific terms. Drawing on his own struggles with the illness and interviews with fellow sufferers, doctors and scientists, policy makers and politicians, drug designers and philosophers, Andrew Solomon reveals the subtle complexities and sheer agony of the disease. He confronts the challenge of defining the illness and describes the vast range of available medications, the efficacy of alternative treatments, and the impact the malady has on various demographic populations -- around the world and throughout history. He also explores the thorny patch of moral and ethical questions posed by emerging biological explanations for mental illness. With uncommon humanity, candor, wit, and erudition, award-winning author Solomon takes readers on a journey of incom-parable range and resonance into the most pervasive of family secrets. His contribution to our understanding not only of mental illness but also of the human condition is truly stunning.

    Excellent book!

    I love this book. I read it every day. I have a short attention span so it's hard to find books that really draw me, but this one does it. It's very personal, intimate, and raw. Recommend for sure. Thanks for the fast shipping!

    Knowledge IS Power

    This is a very informative book. I’ve “endured” depression and anxiety for 30 years and I’m surprised how much I’ve learned. Wish I’d read it years ago

    Magnificent Book

    This is a very honest and personal look at mental illness. It doesn't sugarcoat the topic and is very real in the description of specific stories. There is a lot of technical information regarding the history, treatment and diagnosis of mental illness, so at times it can be a difficult read. I would highly recommend it for anyone that suffers from mental illness of any degree or anyone that knows or loves someone that does.
