A Revealing Narration about a Woman’s Lifelong Battle with Depression

Sept. 8, 2009 - PRLog -- Seeing life through the hazy veil of depression was what Donna was accustomed to.  

Knowing no other way to exist, she suffered from a kind of melancholy hopelessness during her formative and adolescent years and into adulthood.  This was her normal.

As a middle-aged woman, Donna hid her depression, feeling shame about her inability to snap out of it.  Never seeking help, Donna resorted to the ultimate act—suicide—and survived to tell her story and seek the help she so desperately needed.

“Three West” is the psychiatric ward where Donna went to heal.  In and out of this facility, Donna paints a vivid, intimate picture of what that place is really like. From funny and frustrating to poignant and painful, this woman’s journey reveals it all: the absurd actions of fellow patients, the rigid yet caring attention of the staff, the aloof persona of psychiatrists, and the strange world of psychiatric medicine.  As Donna works her way through the system, she learns that a fragile life can become strong, vibrant and worth living.

This breath of fresh air narration is a poignant, amusing, and brutally honest account that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the isolation of depression. It gives voice to the thousands of people suffering from the illness and pays homage to those who are actively participating in their own healing.
