More academic than I expected, Styron's extended essay on his experience with extreme depression does not propose a solution - or indeed the likely possibility of one- for depression, but it is curiously uplifting in its presentation of the realities, one of which is that Styron outlived his depression, so it is possible. Which may be all some in that situation may need.
