About this listen

Though we have come a long way this crippling, debilitating, often terminal illness is still shockingly misunderstood. This is my story that you have asked me to tell. Those who suffer from depression will understand and those who don't will hopefully learn how to.

This is the book that Denise Welch wished for as she found herself exhausted and defeated after yet another visit from The Unwelcome Visitor - the name she gives to the episodes of clinical depression she has suffered from over the past 30 years.

For so many, understanding their mental health is a leap into the unknown, and they are left grappling with the physical and emotional fallout without any guidance or someone to tell them 'you're not alone and you can live a happy and successful life alongside your illness'. Within this audiobook Denise reveals her ongoing journey from breakdowns to breakthroughs and through self-destruction to self-acceptance.

Typically candid, Denise brings her trademark humour and honesty to a conversation that we urgently need to have, and shows listeners it is brave and courageous to be open and vulnerable, and you too can take back control.

This book captivated me from the start, written in a way that is honest and accessible, this book was one I just couldn’t stop listening to. Although heartbreaking to hear of her suffering, as someone who as suffered from Depression myself I was really able to relate to Denise. This book will bring incredible comfort to those who are experiencing depression as it does help to hear that you are not alone. Not only that but I think it gives great insight for those who haven’t experienced depression to understand what a sufferer goes through. I’m a northern lad and I’m really proud of Denise, I’ve always admired her work as an actress but this book took my respect for her to a whole new level. I hope she realises the comfort she has brought to her readers in helping them feel not so alone

One of the best books I’ve ever read/listened to.

a bit repetitive at times, it would have nice to have been a bit more upbeat

Denise told her story honestly, truthfully and, at times, with humour. I have suffered with depression, anxiety and stress, for the last few years, and I recognised so much in ''The Unwelcome Visitor'. Thank you Denise, when you suffer with depression etc, you do think 'is it just me', you've shown me that anyone can suffer these terrible feelings, mostly, in silence, and we must talk about depression and reduce the stigma attached.

So true to life

This book is a must read for anyone suffering or who knows anyone suffering. It was like reading about myself about my own thoughts and feelings and even some explanation on how others around me may be feeling.
I have taken many things from this book to help myself in future.

Thank you Denise Welch
