cette souffrance, mais elle sait pourquoi elle doit vivre. Elle écrit ce récit lumineux et tendre pour nous dire qu'on peut s'en sortir. La dépression de l'adolescent n'a rien à voir avec celle de l'adulte. Elle n'entraîne pas de sentiment de culpabilité. C'est plutôt un séisme : un bouleversement des certitudes, la peur d'être soi, la crainte de ne pas aimer et de ne pas être aimé. Mathilde est une adolescente " surdouée ". Cela ne veut pas dire qu'elle est plus intelligente, mais qu'elle emmagasine davantage d'émotions et de perceptions que les autres. Ainsi Mathilde peut décrire, avec une sensibilité à vif et une écriture lucide, l'univers d'une jeune fille qui se fracasse contre la vie. Un document d'espoir. Le premier témoignage sur la dépression écrit par une adolescente. En fin d'ouvrage, Jeanne Siaud-Facchin, qui a suivi Mathilde à sa sortie de l'hôpital, apporte son regard de psychologue sur l'adolescence, la dépression, la précocité.Spring will come
