New Release Depression Does Not Have to Win by Warren Roaf Confronts Mental Illness with Courage, Compassion, and Hope
Written not from the perspective of a clinician but as someone who has faced depression firsthand, this book speaks directly to those who have struggled with emotional pain, isolation, and despair. Through candid reflections on his darkest moments, including a near-suicidal crisis, Warren offers a rare window into the reality of mental illness while also discussing the strength required to keep moving forward.
The book is a heart-touching memoir divided into thematic sections that touch on grief, family, identity, and healing. It is a collection of insights, hard-earned through personal struggle and shared with the goal of encouraging others who may feel lost or unseen. From heartfelt poems about his late brother and the support of loved ones to essays on baseball, memory, and the healing power of writing, he shows how meaning can be found even in life’s most painful chapters.
The book’s central message is clear: depression is real, and it is serious, but it is not unbeatable. Through support, self-awareness, and honest dialogue, healing becomes possible. Roaf’s reflections are particularly crucial for readers who appreciate the role of family, faith, and personal storytelling in recovery.
As mental health awareness continues to grow, Depression Does Not Have to Win arrives as a relevant and compassionate voice. It is a powerful voice of resilience and a reminder that no one has to fight alone.
Depression Does Not Have to Win is now available at leading online bookstores in print and digital formats.
