Hoping for a Happy Ending

Foxhole-prayers antidepressants and a trip to the junkyard with a baseball bat helped award-winning journalist Christine Stapleton get a grip on her mental illnesses - alcoholism depression and bipolar. Christine shares her experiences - from erotic dreams about George Clooney to dark plots of suicide-by-Prius-fumes - in this collection of her weekly columns Kicking Depression from The Palm Beach Post. The mentally ill are sick Christine reminds us not bad weak or fond of happy pill wisecracks.
