What is "Oh not so great" : poems from the depression project about?

A collection of 30 poems on depression, broken into nine sections: sadness, poor sleep, loss of interest, guilt, low energy, poor concentration, abnormal appetite, psychomotor retardation/agitation, and suicidality (known by the medical acronym SSIGECAPS). All of the poems are inspired by, or drawn from, the transcripts of group discussions between people living with severe depression. "These poems are the result of a years-long project designed to create for physicians a doorway to empathy with patients who suffer from mental illness. As it turns out, they open that door wide for us all. Here are people speaking from deep within the isolating world of depression, their stories transformed into poetry by Rob Taylors considerable talents. From the heart-rending admission to a friend in the first poem (Its the one gift / I do give you, every day / I dont call), to the final lines (You walk alone / across the room, sit by the fire, / and wait there for the longest time), this collection unveils a reality lived by far too many people, one most of us dont know how to handle not when we experience it ourselves, not when loved ones are going through it. Read this book. It will help." San
