Unhappiness, Sadness and 'Depression': Antidepressants and the Mental Disorder Epidemic

by Tullio Giraldi

This book examines existing treatments, legislation and research methodology of depression and exposes their limitations, championing psycho-social support as an alternative. Depression, affecting 350 million people according to the World Health Organisation, is almost invariably diagnosed by the criteria of the American Psychiatric Association - a definition which encompasses those with normal emotional responses to stressful life events.
