When an adult suffers from depression, their world changes. When a parent or other loved one suffers from depression, the child’s world changes. When a child suffers from depression, the whole family’s world changes. The drama of depression is not an intimate, individual matter – it touches everyone nearby.
Aunt Melancholy’s Scarf provides an abundance of knowledge about the various symptoms of depression and how the recovery process works. It aims to dispel children’s feelings of guilt and responsibility for the illness of their loved one, helping them understand that they did not cause their parent’s unusual behaviour, nor are they responsible for their therapy.
This is a book to read together, to break the spell cast by depression, as well as the social and cultural taboos surrounding it.
Translated by Kate Webster
