This memoir is inspirational and deals with a heavy topic in today’s society. Mental illness is a topic that I feel like needs to be talked about more. This memoir made me happy and brought tears to my eyes. This woman is full of strength, love and is extremely powerful. I want to meet her and give her a hug and tell her how proud I am of this book that she wrote! I know she struggled to write it, because it is very personal. However, she overcame her fear of what people might think and wrote it anyways and I am very glad she did!

To Depression, with Love is a nonfiction memoir about a woman named Marsha ,who now has children and grandchildren of her own. As of right now, she has been married to her husband for over forty years and he has always been a big supporter of hers. This book starts out when she was young and what life was like for her, her siblings and parents growing up. As a young teenager, she suffered from depression. She grew up in a big family. Her parents didn’t discuss mental illness in her family and she didn’t find support at school either. She was lost and didn’t know what to do or who to turn to. She was only a young teenager when she had her first depressive episode, along with having anxiety. As she grew older, she learned a new way to look at her mental illness and accepted it! I believe that everyone should read this memoir. The way she overcame all of her hardships and who she is today is a huge accomplishment! I rate this a 5 out of 5 stars!
