Product Description:
For thirty-nine years, Robert L. Hamlett's life was controlled by severe depression. 'Surviving Depression: My Agonizing Struggle with Sanity' is his inspiring and yes, terrifying, account of his battle with disease--including panic attacks, crying, withdrawal from society, hopelessness, and despair.
'My life has been a dichotomy,' writes the author. 'For those who know me only superficially, my life has been far different than what appears at very first glance.
Mr. Hamlett spent weeks and months at a time in hospitals, suffering from what doctors called 'severe depression.' When, at age thirty-nine, he finally found a psychiatrist who could treat him, it changed his life substantially. Through medication and the love and support of his friends and family, the author turned his life around and has been living 'depression free' for the past twenty-five years.
Robert Hamlett's riveting memoir explains how he 'muddled through' high school, college, and military service in Vietnam until he was institutionalized at the age of twenty-six. His journey back to a 'normal' life, told in straightforward language with genuinely cathartic tones, can be helpful to anyone dealing with depression, from individuals, to friends and family members, as well as to health care professionals.
