Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness by William StyronMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A lucid, honest and intense memoir about the author's struggles with depression and how close he came to committing suicide. The book is written in first-person perspective and narrated by the author. (I read the audio version)
Overall I am glad I read it, it came recommended from a buddy of mine in the Marine Corps.
The author did the right thing, he recognized he needed help and reached out for help when he was close to doing harm to himself.
There should be no stigma associated with mental health. Everyone can use help sometimes. It does not make you less of a person, in fact, it is a sign of strength to know yourself enough to reach out for help.
