Criticize Appertaining To Books Prozac Nation

Depression was the loneliness fucking thing on earth.Having battled with depression since I was 14 (10 years now), Ive found it very difficult to put into words my thought patterns and behaviours and almost impossible to find accurate representations. Wurtzel manages to put into words much of what Ive struggled with. A human can survive almost anything, as long as she sees an end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that its impossible to ever see the end.My copy of

I love how people somehow think depression is about being privilegied or not. It's a chemical imbalance, and it happens regardless of money, status or skills.It's not like having the blues which you can shop your way out of!

A book for all Seasons: book I can identify with"How can you hide from what never goes away?"-Heraclitus

Not as awful as some have claimed, but decidedly shallow and self-indulgent. By no means is someone obligated to be insightful about their life, to have learned something, or even to be interesting. No one is obligated to do anything in a memoir but tell their story the way they want it told.An unlikeable protagonist is a hard thing to stomach however, and try as I might I could muster no sympathy for Wurtzel.

"There was never enough money for anything..." Really? No money for anything but private schools, an apartment in the upper west side of NYC, summer camp for a month each summer, dance lessons, cruises, Betsy Johnson dresses, and private therapy five days a week. This book starts off as an insult to the truly poor and middle class. She then goes on to trivialize the depression of others. No one at Harvard has as black of days as she does and, later in the epilogue, the implication is that while

I loved his book.Wurtzel does a brilliant job detailing the devastating depression she goes through. In the closing, she said one of the hard things was justifying why she had to write this book, when there are so many other serious problems out there. But depression is one of them...it is a huge and growing problem and the author does a powerful job showing the ravaging, exhausting, all-consuming effects of said depression. The biggest insight I gained out of this book was that it as so damn
