More about the book
Exploring the intersection of mental health and pharmaceutical marketing, the book questions the rapid rise in antidepressant prescriptions alongside soaring depression rates. Gary Greenberg, a therapist with personal experience of depression, challenges the narrative that this trend signifies progress in public health. Instead, he suggests that depression may have been constructed as a condition to facilitate the sale of medications, prompting readers to reconsider the true nature of their emotional struggles and the motivations behind treatment.
