A passionate argument against our romantic acceptance of
depression—from the internationally bestselling author of
Listening to Prozac
In his landmark
bestseller Listening to Prozac, Peter Kramer
revolutionized the way we think about antidepressants and
the culture in which they are so widely used. Now Kramer
offers a frank and unflinching look at the condition those
medications treat: depression. Definitively refuting our
notions of “heroic melancholy,” he walks readers through
groundbreaking new research—studies that confirm
depression’s status as a devastating disease and suggest
pathways toward resilience. Thought-provoking and
enlightening, Against Depression provides a bold
revision of our understanding of mood disorder and promises
hope to the millions who suffer from it.
