The unseen battle leaves Wurtzel constantly afflicted and paranoid, and the depression amplifies the negative emotions she naturally experiences in life-the stress of school, work, moving, career, identity. As she notes in the ending of her story, the introduction of better mental health medicine made it less taboo to talk openly about mental health, and by talking about her own mental health, she accomplishes that same goal-to de-stigmatize depression and anxiety. Those who have lived with extreme anxiety or depression likely resonate with Wurtzel's point of view, though, and that's why such a dark book must be written. Especially if the reader doesn't already know about the world of depression. There is no getting around it, this book is a little dark.
