A review by comrademun
Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel

5.0

As someone who has lived with depression for over 20 years, this was an incredibly difficult book to read. I saw my own behaviour in that of Elizabeth and had to reconcile my own harmful actions. Not an easy task!

This book so perfectly captures the overwhelming pain and fog of living with depression, and ironically, has given me pause to really work through my feelings and actions. Cannot recommend highly enough for everyone - if you have depression, you will empathise, and if you don’t, you will understand why it’s not just “being sad.”
