“Even in the best of spirits, it's always been as though I wrestle with the present in a vain effort to stop its becoming the past.”

“The monolithic problem of depression cannot be expressed with a monolithic response; depressions are contextual and must be interpreted within the contexts in which they occur.”
Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression

“I didn't particularly want to die but I also didn't at all want to live.”
Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression

“Therapy allows a person to make sense of the new self he has attained on medication, and to accept the loss of self that occurred during a breakdown. You need to be reborn after a severe episode, and you need to learn the behaviors that may protect against relapse. You need to run your life differently from how you ran it before.”
Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon

Andrew Solomon
“There is no life that does not have the material for despair in it, but some people go too close to the edge and others manage to stay sometimes sad in a safe clearing far from the cliffs.”
Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression
