104 reviews"A different kind of depression story . . . a positive road map of how to live with & transcend the limitations of mental illness.” — Jessica Ferri, Los Angeles Times
“In Life B, Bethanne Patrick takes readers on a harrowing journey to the cliff edge of suicidal despair, so that they might stare into the abyss of depression & better understand this debilitating condition. Not since William Styron’s Darkness Visible has there been so enlightening a book on mental illness. Fearless, generous, fascinating.” — Adrienne Brodeur, author of Wild Game
A bracing & fresh look at a lifelong struggle with depression & mental illness
Plagued by depression her entire life, it wasn’t until her early fifties that writer & book critic Bethanne Patrick, advocating for her own care, received a medical diagnosis that would set her on the path to wellness & stability.
Recognizing the intergenerational effects of trauma & mental health struggles, Patrick unearths the stories of her past in order to forge a better future for herself & her two daughters, dismantling the stigmas surrounding mental health challenges that can plague families into silence and resignation. Life B is an intimate portrait we haven’t yet seen—of a lifelong struggle with depression, of midlife diagnosis & newly found strength. Most important, it’s a life-affirming blueprint of how to accept & transcend the limitations of mental illness.
