“Navigating Depression with Tteokbokki” appears to be a descriptive or catalog-style label for Baek Sehee’s book I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki, translated into English by Anton Hur. Bloomsbury describes it as part memoir and part self-help, built around the author’s conversations with her psychiatrist over 12 weeks. Its publisher listing identifies it as a personal account, not a clinical treatment manual.
What the book is about
In the publisher’s description, Baek records conversations with her psychiatrist as she works to understand patterns of thought and behavior associated with her distress. Bloomsbury says the discussions span a 12-week period; that describes the book’s structure, not a measure of mental-health outcomes. The book is presented as a personal narrative combined with self-help reflection.

The English-language edition is translated by Anton Hur. The publisher’s description can help readers understand the book’s subject and approach, but it does not establish that reading it treats depression or anxiety.
Is there a PDF edition?
Yes. Bloomsbury’s UK listings include an ebook PDF edition, alongside print and other digital formats. Edition records and availability differ by market, so check the listing for the region where you plan to obtain it.

Is it a substitute for professional help?
No publisher description can establish that a memoir or self-help book is a substitute for professional care. This book offers one person’s account of psychiatric conversations and self-reflection; it should not be treated as a diagnosis or a treatment plan.
