In this memoir Malachy Walsh gives a courageous and frank account of his 25-year battle with hereditary depression.

He describes the terrifying and painful world he inhabited, and the tenacity and strength required to overcome his illness. Tempted to commit suicide on three successive occasions, Malachy pulled himself back from the brink and never gave up.

His decision to write his story was to give hope to other depressives and to help those close to them to empathise and understand. A book of encouragement and hope.
