Background:
I was inspired to write Caged and Locked: My Personal Experience with Circumstantial Depression out of a deep need to find resources and understanding for my own struggle with this specific type of depression.
When I sought help, I was astonished to discover a glaring lack of literature on circumstantial depression, especially in libraries.
It seemed unfathomable that no one had published a book addressing this condition, which is triggered by life events rather than chemical imbalances and thus cannot be healed by medication alone.
This realization fueled my determination to share my story.
Firstly, I wanted to get my personal experience out there, to give voice to the pain and challenges I faced.
Secondly, I aimed to let others in similar situations know that they are not alone—there are many who endure the same struggles, and there is hope.
Lastly, I was driven by a desire to educate people about circumstantial depression, highlighting its unique characteristics and the importance of understanding that healing requires more than just medication.
By writing this book, I hope to fill the gap in resources and foster a greater awareness and empathy towards those dealing with circumstantial depression.
