description: In 1998, Helen Razer, self-appointed critical thinker and electronic media nuisance, was forced to reassess her life when she found herself temporarily blinded and suffering incapacitating dizzy spells, hypervigilance, headaches and a whole gamut of other nut-churning symptoms associated with being hurled about in the anxiety and depression spin cycle.Gas Smells Awful is an insightful and vitally important resource for those caring for someone struggling with a depressive illness. And is compulsory reading for those who should care, but don't - because of fear, ignorance or a feeling of helplessness.At a time when mental illness and suicide - especially among young people - have reached alarming levels and need urgently to find their way onto the national agenda, Gas Smells Awful speaks bravely, honestly and optimistically to anyone trying to find a way through the torment of depression.
