“In A Blue Flag Can Be a Red Flag, Blair Montague-Drake offers us a beautiful window into the complicated and often confounding phenomenon of the clinical condition known as depression.
By combining the deeply personal and moving stories of people with depression and their families and friends, statements from seasoned mental health professionals, poetry, and exquisitely evocative photographs, Montague-Drake has captured the broad range of human expression beyond the limit of words that is essential to understanding this common and all too often poorly understood, part of the human experience.
I cannot recommend this work more highly to the attention of mental health professionals, people experiencing depression and those who care about them.”

“Knowing what a deep subject it is, I found this book very easy to view and non-confronting.
The colour throughout the book was most apt for the subject.”
