Reader comments
This book is very rich in content. It not only introduces relevant knowledge about depression, but also shares the stories of different types of depressed people, allowing us to have a deeper understanding of this group. A sentence in the book impressed me deeply: "In the pursuit of self-worth realization, depression is like high blood pressure and diabetes that accompany the problem of food and clothing." This sentence vividly illustrates the universality and complexity of depression.
