<p>I also benefitted a lot from reading Andrew Solomon’s “The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression.” Both he and Kay Redfield Jamison are excellent writers. They make a subject many would like to turn away from fascinating and readable. A reviewer said of the book, “Solomon interweaves a personal narrative with scientific, philosophical, historical, political, and cultural insights…The result is an elegantly written, meticulously researched book that is empathetic and enlightening, scholarly and useful…Solomon apologizes that ‘no book can span the reach of human suffering.’ This one comes close.” (Christine Whitehouse, ‘Time’) You and your family will be in my thoughts, Maine Longhorn.</p>
