Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thank God for antidepressants is about honesty and putting things in the light: the struggles, the fears, the frailty and the questions of Jane Newman's journey to a life of fulfilment in spite of the on-going need of anti-depressants. Jane Newman understands the personal challenges of long-term medication and the fall-out on family relationships and personal identity. Thank God for antidepressants is a conversational journey about such questions as... -How did I get here? -Where does depression come from? -To take, or not to take anti-depressants? -Why do people treat me differently? -Do the meds make me a different person? -Which side-effects can I live with? -What about Psychotherapy? -Am I a second class citizen? -Where is God in all that? -What do we tell the children? Thank God for antidepressants! sets out to break the social taboo around this much debated subject, and to encourage those who suffer from depression and take anti-depressants to walk tall, free from its stigma and shame.
