η
a culture obsessed with youth, financial suc¬
cess, and achieving happiness, is it possible to
live an authentic, meaningful life? Nassir Ghaemi,
director of the Mood Disorders Program at Tufts
Medical Center, reflects on our society's current
quest for happiness and rejection of any emotion
resembling sadness. On Depression asks readers to
consider the benefits of despair and the foibles of
an unexamined life.
Too often depression as disease is mistreated
or not treated at all. Ghaemi warns against the
"pretenders" who confuse our understanding of
depression
—
both those who deny disease and
those who use psychiatric diagnosis "pragmati¬
cally" or unscientifically. But experiencing sadness,
even depression, can also have benefits. Ghaemi
asserts that we can create a "narrative of ourselves
such that we know and accept who we are," leading
to a deeper, lasting level of contentment and a
more satisfying personal and public life.
Depression is complex, and we need guides to
help us understand it, guides who comprehend it
existentially as part of normal human experience
and clinically as sometimes needing the right kind
of treatment, including medications. Ghaemi dis¬
cusses these guides in detail, thinkers like Viktor
Franki,
Rollo
May, Karl Jaspers, and Leston Havens,
among others.
On Depression combines examples from phi¬
losophy and the history of medicine with psychiatric
principles informed by the author's clinical experi¬
ence with people who have mental illness. He has
seen great achievements arise from great suffering
and feels that understanding depression can pro¬
vide important insights into happiness. |
