Suicide affects every culture, gender, and race. And yet so few people talk about the despair that drives some to threaten their own lives-or about the hope and help available to relieve the mental anguish. Author and entrepreneur David Ahmad Threatt breaks down the wall of silence surrounding this difficult and painful topic to share his own experiences with depression, anxiety, paranoia, and attempted suicide. By the age of thirty, Threatt's life was coming apart at the seams. Riddled with debt, overwhelmed by responsibility, and facing a divorce, he dove into a deep depression that lead to an early midlife crisis. Threatt woke up, strapped to a hospital bed in the intensive care unit. And though he was far from healed, he knew his life had been spared because he had work to do. Wonderfully engaging and intensely real, Threatt's story smashes the notion that suicide is a taboo topic that should be dealt with privately. Generously sharing his own pain and victories, he encourages others to give voice to their suffering and to find the help they need without shame or fear.
