A review by rachel_lee
Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel
5.0
There are two distinct camps - those who see Elizabeth as a frank, honest, strong women, and those who couldn't get past the halfway point without wanting to tear her hair out. I land somewhere in the former category and re-reading Prozac Nation cemented that. Suffering from a wonderful concoction of depression and anxiety in what can only be described as a never-ending spiral of misery - I was astonished that there was someone else out there who knew what it was like to feel this way. The relief was almost palpable.
To put it simply: if you've had no experience of mental illness, there is a 97% chance you will not like this book. It will bore you and you'll want to scream into a pillow. To those who have been through a similar mental torture, Wurtzel is almost a kind of messiah figure.
