The reviewer implies that depression and mental illness isn't real pain and that you have to be a war victim to know what real pain is. Pain isn't something that is on a scale, you can't compare pain between people. I'd like to add that there's another review on this website that slams this book for being whiny and that Wurtzel should 'just get over it' because there's people out there who have suffered more and are more entitled to being in emotional pain than she is. Maybe I need to read it again now that I'm older but I do remember loving it several years ago. I think it's honest it's a fair depiction of what a lot of people feel when they're depressed and I thought it was powerfully written.
Haha, so many people hate her for being so self-absorbed and whiney and I agree, she is - but I love her for it.
