I'm Still Here.


I'm talked out on the subject of whether or not psychiatric illnesses exist and whether or not psychiatric treatments work. I went to work today. I think I'll go again.
For the sake of completion, here's Louis Menand writing in The New Yorker, "Head Case." Click the link and read away.

  1. On the difference between grief and depression, the best account I've read is Kay Redfield Jamison's latest book "Nothing Was The Same." In fact, I hereby assign all of her books to the writers of these articles, along with Martha Manning's Undercurrents.

  2. That article captures it all, I think. Thanks for the link.
