Extract from cover<\/strong>
\nThank God for antidepressants is about honesty and putting things in the light : the struggles, the fears, the frailty and the questions of Jane Newman\u2019s journey to a life of fulfillment in spite of the on-going need of antidepressants.
\nWhy write my story?<\/strong>
\nElie Wiesel, holocaust survivor, author & Nobel prize for peace, says it this way: \u201cWe know that every moment is a moment of grace, every hour an offering; not to share them would mean to betray them.\u201d (Night) I can\u2019t say it better than that!
\nThis story is for you\u2026 <\/strong>
\n\u2026whether you are yourself struggling with depression & the need to take antidepressants, or whether you are a companion to one who does & wishing to better understand them. I am not writing as an expert, nor am I writing from objectivity. I am writing as one who is IN it. I write to give each reader hope & the realization that they are not alone. I write to break the needless, shameful silence.
\nRight now I feel really, really well. This can be confusing for my friends, as in the case of the one who asked me, but do you still suffer from depression? Are you alright? My answer is both Yes, & No. Yes, I do still suffer from depression, because if I didn\u2019t take my antidepressants, I would be more than a basket case. No, because, with the antidepressants, I do not suffer from it. So Yes, I am more than alright. I can live a fulfilling & full life. But I would not be alright if such medication did not exist, & if God had not also stepped in with His gracious, healing touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
