I'm depressed and have deep anxiety. What should I read?

I have been depressed most of my life. The only thing that helps is creative output.

Writing has made my depression disappear.

To answer your question though, Harry Potter.

Disappear, eh? It only leaves for me when I'm deeply occupied by my work or when distracted. Is it similar for you or is your depression fled in general?

Nothing. Take multivitamin pills and pursue what you love, reading's a downer.

I'd say it's vanished.

I still get down, but it manifests in manageable sadness rather than crippling depression.

The Old Man and the Sea, preferably read physical copy while lying down.
