As a person who has battled depression for many years Up the Down Ladder was a difficult read. It brought back many memories so I had to take it in small doses. At least the first half. Ms Ayotte has written this to women of a younger generation than me. I wish I had been able to have this when I was first diagnosed.The advice is presented as if she was in the room with you. Speaking just to you. The stories and events she tells are from her own life as it was turned upside down because of her depression and anxiety.There's no psychobabble. It's simply a woman giving her experiences and sound counsel for mainly young women who find themselves looking up a ladder they've fallen down wondering how to find the energy and will to climb back up.
