O knihe

To everyone who knew her, Kaitlyn Elkins was a happy, intelligent,
compassionate and extremely talented young medical student with a
bright future ahead. However, behind her warm smile and string of
impressive achievements lurked a dark secret - depression; something
that she hid so well from all those who knew and loved her.
This is the story about a mother's quest to find some answers as to
how her daughter, who seemed so happy on the outside, could hide
such a dark, horrible depression that ultimately led to her suicide. It
is a story about her wonderful daughter's life, the lives she touched,
the search for answers, the stigma of mental illness, the great love
and deep bond they shared. The book also incorporates insightful
experiences from other depression sufferers, contributions from
Kaitlyn's friends and views from medical professionals.
This heartrending memoir of love and loss also serves as a caution to
parents, teachers, counselors and young people that depression can
lurk among the high achieving, that they hide it expertly and, if not
reported and treated, can lead to suicide.
It is a warning to everyone.
