Description

For the last forty-five years, since he was five years old, author Tristan James has struggled with depression in his life. It was something he hid from his family, his loved ones, his friends, and even himself.

In The Mind of the Depressed, James looks back at the struggles and difficulties, sharing the battle of his depressive life and how it affected him and everyone who crossed his path. He tells how he has not only been destructive to himself but also to those people he cares about the most.

In this memoir, James describes his symptoms and feelings from an early age and how the depression manifested itself in his everyday life. Offering an original look at overcoming the disease without resorting to drugs, he gives practical and methodical advice. James sends the message that those who suffer from depression are not alone. The road to happiness is possible if you are honest with yourself and those close to you.
