Rating is 3/5
"Detached" is one of the few books which has focused on depression as a mental "illness" and not as a social stigma to shy away from.
The book revolves around Anna who finds herself dead within which has aggravated especially after her grandparents' death. Throughout the book the author has tried to give an insight about the thinking process of a depressed person, how the feeling of letting go overpowers them to the extent that they think suicide as the ultimate end.
The most important aspect of this book is it recognizes the fact that "depression" is a mental ILLNESS just like ANY OTHER BODY AILMENTS and that it is not the FAULT of the depressed person.
The reader goes through various stages through the different perspectives of the characters around Anna to experience the onset, progression and ultimately the resolution of the condition mainly through understand and support of her dear ones who made her realize that "NOTHING IS WORTH GIVING UP THE REST OF YOUR LIFE".
