Fiona was your average 80s baby.
She grew up without an iPhone, used actual landlines to make calls, and didn't have the luxury (or perhaps the curse) of Facebook during her adolescent years. But though her childhood took place in an analogue world, she found herself suffering from the same problems many young people face today; the race for perfectionism, high levels of anxiety, a fear of success.After an unfulfilling university experience, a stressful beginning in a management career, and a severe case of impostor syndrome, Fiona suffered a nervous breakdown in her mid-twenties. Amongst therapy and medication, it was the online community which gave Fiona the comfort she needed to recover. In Depression in a Digital Age, Fiona traces her life dealing with anxiety and the subsequent depression, and how a digital life helped her find her community, find her voice, find herself.

When Fiona was diagnosed with depression, she felt lost, and began blogging to pass the time. She became obsessed with the online world, which led her to experience high levels of anxiety. Now a proud advocate for using technology as a communication tool for those suffering from symptoms of mental illness, Fiona has used the internet to hone her identity and create a supportive community. Depression in a Digital Age is her first book on the subject.
