MARIETTA, GA – For nearly thirty years, Laurie Jueneman lived with depression while pursuing treatment. The experience led her through numerous hospitalizations, medication trials, more than four hundred electroconvulsive treatments, and two neurosurgical surgeries. Today, she recounts that experience in Climbing the Mount Everest of Depression: A Story of Hope, Recovery, and Inspiration.
Jueneman’s struggle began when she was thirty-five years old and, by her own account, continues at times even today. Rather than presenting depression as a challenge that can be neatly overcome, she writes about the realities of living with a mental illness over an extended period, including the setbacks, uncertainty, and ongoing treatment often associated with the condition.
The book combines memoir, personal reflection, self-help guidance, and information drawn from Jueneman’s experiences. Topics include symptoms of depression, accepting a mental illness diagnosis, treatment options, overcoming negative thoughts, recovery tools, resilience, and forgiveness. Alongside practical information, the book documents the personal experiences that shaped her understanding of depression and its treatment.
Jueneman writes from the perspective of both a healthcare professional and a patient. A registered nurse with a graduate degree in nursing education from the University of Minnesota, she worked in a variety of nursing roles in Minnesota and Washington while also navigating her own long struggle with depression. She has said that it was not her nursing education that qualified her to write this book, but her experience of living with depression for almost thirty years.
Through her account, Jueneman describes the realities of living with depression over nearly three decades, including extensive treatment, repeated setbacks, and ongoing recovery efforts. Her experiences form the foundation of a book that chronicles nearly thirty years of living with depression and the treatments and recovery efforts that shaped her experience. Climbing the Mount Everest of Depression: A Story of Hope, Recovery, and Inspiration is available for purchase through Amazon.
