''This brave and moving memoir challenges all the clichés about mental illness ... All who know the pain of depression will find the book immensely useful, and so will their friends and relations'' Sunday Times
''Brave and honest ... It must have been terribly painful to write it. But, golly, am I glad that Sally Brampton did'' Independent
