Re: Larry King on depression

[Guest guest]

The Larry King show on depression, manic/depression and suicide was

fabulous. I wish I'd had a blank tape to have recorded it. He had the author

of a new book on manic depressionand suicide Nighttime Falling??? by Dr. Kay

Redfield on, several well known people, Rod Steiger and Phyllis Diller

and spokespeople from suicide survivors groups. The awful awful pain of deep

depression was clearly presented w/ such a straight forward atttitude, i.e.

THIS IS AN ILLNESS not a moral affliction and this illness is frequently

fatal. Most survivors of suicide attempts are very grateful to be alive now

and very grateful they got help. The book sounds great. I'll be getting a

copy.
