Shoot the Damn Dog blasts the stigma of depression as a character
flaw and confronts the illness Winston Churchill called 'the black dog',
a condition that humiliates, punishes and isolates its sufferers. It is
a personal account of a journey through severe depression as well as
being a practical book, suggesting ideas about what might help.
With its raw, understated eloquence, it will speak volumes to anyone
whose life has been haunted by depression, as well as offering help and
understanding to those whose loved ones suffer from this difficult
illness. This updated edition includes a beautiful and moving
afterword by Sally Brampton's daughter, Molly Powell, following her
mother's death in 2016.
'This brave and moving memoir challenges all the cliches about mental
illness ... All who know the pain of depression will find the book
immensely useful, and so will their friends and relations'
