Shoot The Damn Dog A Memoir Of Depression by Sally Brampton
4.0
I found this book hard to get into with the first two chapters but the writing got more personal and detailed from chapter three and I was hooked.
I did know the fate of the author before starting this book so it was hard reading about her coping methods at the end of the book knowing that she eventually came to take her own life.
I could relate to a lot of things she discovered about herself and her family from engaging with a good therapist. It was interesting to also learn about her diagnosis of hypothyroidism which includes depression, lack of interest and difficulty concentrating as symptoms.
