The Other Face

  • A brilliantly written book about a still stigmatized illness

We’ve begun to scratch at the surface of the taboo of depression. Yet many people still do not dare to talk about it openly, especially those who are in the public eye.

Katty Salié knows from her own experience how it feels when life suddenly becomes difficult and you are no longer able to function. At the same time, you feel ashamed because, after all, you live on the sunny side of life. But success and celebrity don’t protect you from depression – it also affects those you might least expect. In this personal book, Katty Salié describes her affliction and talks to many famous people about their experiences. The result is a compendium of life stories connected by the illness.
