speaking of sadness
"Depression can be devastating, leading to family breakups, loss of employment, even suicide." Depression is a national problem, engulfing some ten to fifteen million Americans within its bitter grasp. In Speaking of sadness, Karp captures the human face of this widespread affliction as he brings forth his own experience and that of others in a heart felt, personal work. Speaking of Sadness had a powerful impact on my life. Though the sort of depression that I faced was not clinical depression, I still learned quite a bit from Karp's own experiences. The sort of depression I encounter is a result of heavy drug use throughout my high school years, so it affected my life in a different sort which is very difficult for me to explain. From personal experience when I have a serious problem I enjoy taking advice from those who have felt my pain, especially some of my adult friends from church and my youth pastor. Karp has struggled with depression for the majority of his life so he writes from the heart and his own experiences. When people write the truth out of their own experiences, it is very easy to gain lasting Throughout the book Karp included personal interviews with real people
