Opis: A Cure for Darkness - Riley Alex
'Boldly ambitious, deeply affecting, and magisterial in scope' Steve
Silberman, author of Neurotribes
'Expansive and thoughtful, it illuminates the complexity and elusiveness
of his subject' New Statesman
Depression is a leading cause of disability around the world today, a
growing health crisis that affects us all. It is a complex and diverse
condition. But it is also highly treatable.
In this profound and sweeping history, Alex Riley charts the macabre,
ingenious, and often surprising developments in the science of mental
healthcare over the last 2000 years. In the pursuit to understand his
own experiences with mental illness, Riley interweaves his own family
history with fascinating stories of biological and psychological
treatments which illuminate the past, question the current state of
diagnosis, and investigate the hype and hopes for future treatments.
From the re-emergence of long-forgotten therapies to a group of
grandmothers who stand at the forefront of a revolution in mental
healthcare, A Cure for Darkness is an essential exploration of one of
the most pressing problems of our time.
