What really causes depression and anxiety - and how can we really solve them? Award-winning journalist Johann Hari suffered from depression since he was a child and started taking anti-depressants when he was a teenager. He was told that his problems were caused by a chemical imbalance in his brain. As an adult, trained in the social sciences, he began to investigate whether this was true – and he learned that almost everything we have been told about depression and anxiety is wrong.
Across the world, Hari found social scientists who were uncovering evidence that depression and anxiety are not caused by a chemical imbalance in our brains. In fact, they are largely caused by key problems with the way we live today. Hari´s journey took him from a mind-blowing series of experiments in Baltimore, to an Amish community in Indiana, to an uprising in Berlin. Once he had uncovered nine real causes of depression and anxiety, they led him to scientists who are discovering seven very different solutions – ones that work.
Johann Hari is the New York Times bestselling author of Chasing the Scream, which is being adapted into a feature film. He was twice named Newspaper Journalist of the Year by Amnesty International UK. He has written for the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and others, and he is a regular panelist on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher. His TED talk, “Everything You Think You Know About Addiction Is Wrong,” has more than 20 million views.

主要觀點是抑鬱不是腦袋裡化學不平衡引起的,那只是症狀,真正的原因是社會性與心理性的,解決的方式在於增強各種聯繫。不太喜歡講psilocybin的部分,有點太玄了,而且明明全書說的都是藥片不能解決所有問題。但總的來說這書寫得很誠懇認真,我看哭了幾回,讀到了自己,書末notes竟長達三十頁共有261點,連致謝都特別詳細認真,值得尊敬。
评分介绍了很多看事情的不同角度。中间一度觉得太沉重了看不下去了。
评分作者提出很多好问题,并最终成功说服了我,让我对Big Pharma所左右的各种疾病叙事有了新的警惕和反思。生病的不是我们,而是这个世界。但文风真让我不习惯,非常浅白,非常口语,非常鸡汤。30%篇幅的文献也算是很扎实了,为什么写得那么琐碎呢?
评分谢谢
评分作者用了大量的具体例子来说明他认为真正造成人得忧郁症的理由,是我们与生活中有意义的事情失去了联系。这本书结构非常清晰,很容易让人看进去,并且记住。
