{{newreview
|author=Paula Daly
|summary=Nick Weatherhogg has been diagnosed as suffering from severe depression. Many of you will be nodding wisely and thinking that you know how he feels: but there are two points he wants to make here. You ''don't'' know how he feels. This is ''his'' depression and only he knows what it feels like - if he's able to think or express how he's feeling. The other point is that there's a big difference between ''feeling'' depressed and ''being'' depressed - ''fepression'' and ''bepression'' as he terms them. He's right: I've been there. My feelings, my experience will have been different, but I do know that it was hellish. He describes the experience as ''a mental state in which your brain regularly and consistently lies to you.''

|author=Barry Holland
|title=View from the Cheap Seats
|rating=4
|genre=Anthologies
|summary=A little bit about Barry Holland: he was born in Newport, South Wales, to working class parents. He loves rugby and his son - his son is his favourite rugby player, which is just as it should be. He is a qualified engineer but is unable to work because of mental ill health. All of these things feed into ''View from the Cheap Seats'', which is a collection of poems and imaginings as vivid and immediate and striking as you could hope for. Barry sounds like a thoroughly nice bloke and his book was a pleasure to read.
