One Must Flee Singlelilly Ndwandwe

There's never been a worse time to be alive: we have the worst societal pressures and the limpest of nervous systems. This has given birth to a truckload of nagging questions, including, but not limited to: Should you conform to societal expectations? Do we really have to work? Do homosexuals harm society? Why is suicide such an awful idea? How is depression deleterious to humanity? How are mental hospitals more fun than other hospitals? Why do antidepressants make you forget your problems? Why doesn't psychotherapy work? How does self-harm help? Is life worth it? Part memoir, part rant, Singlelilly answers these questions and more in One Must Flee, following her from an endless period at university through intermittent bouts of depression and psychiatric hospitalisations.
