Summary: Wonderful, sensitive, inspiring--I loved it
Comment: This is a terrific book for anyone who wants to understand what depression is and what they can do about it. Cait Irwin may be "only" a teenager but she is wise beyond her years. She has gotten to the heart of it--from the mental and physical anguish you feel when you're depressed, to the way it affects your relationships with your friends and family, to the frustrating process of trying medication after medication, to the incredible sweetness of life post-depression. I loved her wonderful drawings, too. I'd recommend this book to anyone who thinks there's no way out of depression; Cait is living proof that there is.

Summary: Well illustrated and good insights
Comment: Irwin's "Conquering the Beast" features some very nice illustrations but a few appear as if she drew them within minutes. Her advice and commentary on depression are indeed accurate and helpful. Still, Irwin and others who have experienced depression must recognize that anti-depressants do not really "conquer" depression. Although they certainly are a miracle, anti-depressants control and subside the symptoms. One hasn't really "conquered" this horror of an illness until the roots of the illness are finally gone. Nevertheless, I would buy or give this book to any teenager struggling with depression, or even family members of a depressed teen. Often those closest to the patient know little about this illness.

Summary: Conquering The Beast Within
Comment: The words in this book could have been taken out of my heart. My eyes widened as I read because these were my exact feelings. I am way, way past my teen years but what Cait wrote about is what I have lived through the past years. Cait, you have given us a gift with this book. The next time I see my psychiatrist I will give him this book so he can better understand. The pages say what I could never express.
