Book Description: In 1960 Malachy Walsh was diagnosed as suffering from incurable depression, the disease which had taken the lives of Primo Levi, Vincent Van Gogh and Virginia Woolf. Over the next 25 years, while trying to be a good husband and father, and building a successful business, he tried a range of treatments including strenuous exercise, religious devotion and psychiatric sessions. After virtually sleepless nights, the daily struggle to leave his bed and cope with the day ahead never relented. At one point, a psychiatrist exclaimed: How do you do it? Don t you know how ill you are? But few guessed or knew of his condition. Extraordinarily he was cured and he now lives a life free of depression. Malachy chose to write of his experiences to help other depressives and those close to them to empathise and understand. His description of the hidden, gloomy domain of melancholia and his ultimate recovery is moving and courageously honest. : About the Author: Malachy Walsh is a retired civil engineer.
