Book Reviews of Prozac Nation (Movie Tie-In)
Book Review: For anyone who has ever had or known someone with depression
Summary: 5 Stars
This book made me feel like, "Finally someone who understands how I suffer." For some reason, Ms. Wurtzel's book has come to be seen as a symbol of all Gen X woe, which I really don't think it is. Clinical depression has nothing to do with your "generation." Anyone of any age who has had some experience with clinical depression would appreciate this book. The people who don't like it usually find Ms. Wurtzel to be too "self-absorbed." Rightly so. Anyone who feels like dying every second of every day tends to be a little absorbed in his or her own life. I read this book awhile after I was diagnosed with clinical depression and really related to Wurtzel's problems. Though I've never had a drug habit, I could understand why someone with these feelings would (personally, I prefer to eat too many cookies). Her book was both enlightening and witty. Every now and then when I'm feeling really low and alone, I read a few pages of it just to remind myself it's not just me.Book Review: For anyone who has ever had or known someone with depression
