About this audiobook
Depression can convince you that there's no escape. Your thoughts may turn to suicide because it appears to be the only option. But depression is a liar. I suffered from life-threatening bouts of depression that led to alcoholism, drug abuse, medicine-induced psychosis and multiple hospitalisations. This memoir recounts my struggle and triumph over depression. I hope it helps you or your loved ones if any of you are struggling.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a refreshingly honest perspective on one man’s journey through depression. This is really worth reading! Thanks so much, Danny - you’ve certainly given me hope and the impetus to further delve into exploring why I suffer from depression.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Danny has really set out a real life account of what depression really feels like. He is younger than my kids but As a 53 yo woman I identified. his account helped me through an all night sleepless crisis. Great work Danny - keep writing about this reality. You have it - who would think a young guy could touch me this way after years of struggle with depression.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This memoir is an ego trip disguised as an effort to help others. There are many other books out there that address depression that aren’t authored by narcissists
