What Are Some Books That Deal With Depression?

Question by altimaflare9999: what are some books that deal with depression?
I want to read a book that revolves around depressing people, not one of those “self-help” books but authors who make up them, like I read once a very good book called “almost Lost” about a guy who was dealing with depression, very good book. Thanks.

All In The Mind by Alastair Campbell is quite good. He suffers from bouts of serious depression himself and his lead character is a psychiatrist who, although he treats patients for depression himself, has no idea how to deal with his own depressive episodes. The ending is rather clever, I thought, although maybe a little obvious in the point in makes.

As a depressive myself, I usually really dislike reading fiction about depression, but I did like Campbell’s book. I actually only bought it because I happened to meet him (he was incredibly charming, too) but I was pleasantly surprised by the book.
