Shattering Silence is a combination of the struggles the author, van Wykh, a psychologist, has with depression. He describes how he deals with depression while giving general information about depression, how to get treatment and tips as to how one can cope with the symptoms of depression.

Personally, this book consisted of a needy from the author which I found not to jive with average person and the information presented, to me, is common knowledge. Though a book on a important subject, I found this book lacking in true substance.

Shattering Silence: A Psychologist's Journey Through Depression and Healing is a unique memoir that offers an eye-opening glimpse into the struggles of living with depression, narrated by a psychologist who finds himself confronting the very demons he once treated. The author candidly shares his journey from denial and emotional turmoil to a deeper understanding of how depression affects not just the individual but also their relationships and work. I appreciated the honest reflections and practical strategies he offers, along with his faith-based approach to healing, which adds a unique layer of hope. This book is a powerful reminder that while the road to recovery can be tough, it's absolutely attainable.
