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.
