If anxiety is a sign of intelligence,

if the depressed tend to see situations

more realistically than the norm,

then isn't it societal stupidity

to suppress these symptoms…

and ignore the causes?

For intelligence can't be remedied

while idiocy sure can.

Isn't it the height of madness

to refuse to heed the warnings of the clever?

I guess we know who's running this joint then, don't we?

This is not your typical book on depression. This collection of poetry shares some of the unique emotions brought on by depression as well as the reactions of those who live with, love and treat the depressed.

There are many reasons for depression that have absolutely nothing to do with the depressed but with a society that expects people to contort their sensitivity, their emotional set point to accommodate bad behavior. This book speaks for those who can't.

And for those who can't speak up right now, know someday you will.
