Lost Connections isn't as much about science and mental
health as it is about society, and the stories we tell around
mental illness ... This book's value lies in its attempt to
change the stories we tell about the depressed and anxious, and
perhaps help some of those suffering change how they think about
themselves -- Barbara Speed * Independent i *
