Industry Reviews
"Nicholls' writing is concise, thought-provoking, and laden with useful references for carers and sufferers alike. He refrains from broad detail about his depressive experience in order to keep readers from keying on his problems and feeling even more hopeless about their own, while providing sufficient detail of both his decline and his recovery to offer an abundance of encouragement. All told, Surviving the Darkness will doubtless be invaluable to anyone who has a diagnosis of depression and anxiety, presenting a realistic portrait of the many possibilities for complete recovery." - Self-Publishing Review, ?????
"A compact guide to coping with depression. Nicholls advises that "there is no fixed menu of options," but his overview of 20-plus strategies, including "Do not expect too much too soon" and "Set Limits," supplemented by lessons learned and "failed options," is likely to be exceptionally helpful to readers in similar situations...Nicholls writes succinctly with a keen sense of compassion and understanding. Candid, reflective, and illuminating." - Kirkus Reviews
