The  cover of the book is  featuring three monkeys which means speak no evil, see no evil and hear no evil.

Through a story, the author makes his point that how crucial it is to reconsider our perspective regarding mental health. According to him depression is as real as cancer or flu or a broken arm.

The book has been divided into six sections –

SECTION I

From Possessed to Depressed

SECTION II

Defining Mental Health

SECTION III

Understanding Mental Illness

SECTION IV

For and against Mental Health Awareness

SECTION V

Stigma- A Silent Weapon

SECTION VI

The Dull Golden bird

The extensive research is full of facts, figures and substantial data.

 

Especially loved this line " You don’t ask a person with cancer to get over it but you expect the same from a person with depression". 

Nothing can summarise it better than this line. As a society we have two very polar takes on depression. Either we completely avoid them or we start overstress and calling ourselves to go through a depression. There's no in between.

The author makes it evident that if sufferers don’t work to improve their condition then consultations and medications won’t work either.

Overall, this book provides you full information about mental illnesses and leaves you inspired too.
