Depression: The Way In. The Way Out.
Revised Edition (2025)
“The darkness didn’t vanish; it became acknowledged, and that changed its weight.”
Depression is often treated as a silence to be broken or a problem to be solved. But in this revised edition, Dr. Simon Robinson suggests it is also a structure to be understood—a “Way In” that must be mapped before we can find the “Way Out.”
Drawing on his dual experience as a clinician and a patient, Robinson explores how our necessary protections can harden into a prison. This is not a clinical manual, but a compassionate guide to understanding how the armor we build to survive can eventually crush us—and how we might finally put the weight down.
A Visual Introduction
Inside the Book
This revised work moves beyond the clinical definition of depression to explore the lived experience of “heavy armour” and the slow, quiet return to feeling.
“I know the language for this. I have used it for others. Yet when it turns inward, the words no longer organise what is happening.”
“What once protected me began to weigh me down. I could not name the problem. Only its mass.”
