Compression of Depression

More about the book

One man is making a stand. Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet all too often, it is overlooked, neglected, and rarely discussed. In Compression of Depression, Tom Wilkins openly shares his experiences of depression and offers help and advice to others that may be walking the same path. No two journeys on the path-that-no-one-wants-to-tread are ever the same; however, the biggest obstacle that is common to most is the reluctance to admit that it's OK not to be OK. In an age where social media dominates most of our lives and unfavourable comparisons to others' ‘perfect' post-worthy lives can negatively impact our sense of worth, Tom explores the reasons behind his struggles and offers guidance to those fighting depression, as well as their families and friends, as he encourages us all not to suffer in silence.
