Unhappiness, Sadness and 'Depression'

More about the book

Focusing on the limitations of current treatments and research methodologies for depression, the book advocates for psycho-social support as a viable alternative. It highlights the widespread impact of depression, affecting 350 million individuals globally, and critiques the American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic criteria, which often misclassify normal emotional reactions to stress as clinical depression. Through this examination, the author calls for a reevaluation of how depression is understood and treated.
