“This slim volume (Becoming Who I Am) is full of infectious rhythms and memorable lines, but you will have to read it yourself to discover which ones are calling your name. Beth-Sarah Wright has done what all good writers do: she has found the universal story in her story and made an offering of it for the rest of us.”
— Barbara Brown Taylor, New York Times bestselling author

Me? Depressed? A Story of Depression from Denial to Discovery
Me? Depressed?: A Story of Depression from Denial to Discovery is an uplifting, inspirational story of hope and healing through depression. In her own words, this well-educated, professional thirty-something wife and mother, describes her journey of an unexpected diagnosis of depression from complete denial to her discovery that depression does not discriminate, is not “her” fault, needs to be openly and honestly discussed and there is always hope.
Praise for Me? Depressed?:
Beth Sarah Wright’s beautiful book “Me? Depressed? – A Story of Depression from Denial to Discovery” employs her personal narrative to demystify and de-stigmatize major depressive disorder. She shares honestly with the reader the complex and devastating thoughts, feelings, and physical effects of depression, healing and its recurrence. This is a wonderful vignette that describes the individual as well as the cultural and societal challenges that one intelligent, articulate, and brutally honest young woman faces while learning to cope with a chronic, recurrent illness that affects the brain, the mind, and the body.
