Rövid leírás:
In this book for young people, Cait Irwin makes use of her own struggle with major depression to offer practical advice and easy-to-understand science on the disorder. Adolescents will find the story of a young woman who suffered from a crippling depression but was able to recover with the help of a supportive family and expert psychiatric care. Part memoir and part self-help book, Monochrome Days incorporates the expertise of psychiatrist Dwight L. Evans, covering the
science of the illness, as well as issues like hospitalisation, the use of medication, and how to deal with depression at home and at school. Included in the text will be a list of resources for the recently diagnosed and a detailed FAQ.
Hosszú leírás:
Nearly one in five adolescents experiences the symptoms of major depression before finishing high school. Where once experts believed that this serious mood disorder did not exist in children at all, now we know that depression often first appears in the adolescent years, and can be a long-lasting, recurring, and even life-threatening problem.
Cait Irwin was diagnosed with major depression at the age of fourteen, and she nearly lost her battle against the illness before her family intervened and she received expert psychiatric care. Now an adult, Irwin writes of her own experiences and, with the help of science writer Linda Wasmer Andrews, offers practical advice and guidance to adolescents who have recently been diagnosed with depression. In easy-to-understand language Irwin and Andrews incorporate the psychiatric expertise of
Dwight Evans, discussing "what doctors know" about depression in adolescents, and demystifying the often confusing science behind the illness. The book also covers difficult topics such as psychiatric hospitalisation, anti-depressant medications, and how to deal with a mental illness at school and at
home. The result is both a compelling memoir and a practical guide that will help to ease the isolation that depression can bring, teaching young people how to manage and maintain their recovery on a daily basis.
Part of the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative series of books written specifically for teens and young adults, Monochrome Days offers hope to young people who are struggling with depression, helping them to overcome the challenges of this illness and go on to lead productive and healthy lives.
The book is clear and accessible, and woven around Cait's story are facts about depression and its treatment. s
