Can it be expressed through a single diagnosis, or does depression actually refer to a diversity of mental disorders? Is there, or will there ever be, a cure? In seeking the answers to these questions, Riley finds a rich history of ideas and treatments--and takes the reader on a gripping narrative journey, packed with fascinating stories like the junior doctor who discovered that some of the first antidepressants had a deadly reaction with cheese. \"Interweaving memoir, case histories, and accounts of new therapies, Riley anatomizes what is still a fairly young science, and a troubled one\" (The New Yorker). Reporting on the field of global mental health from its colonial past to the present day, Riley highlights a range of scalable therapies, including how a group of grandmothers stands on the frontline of a mental health revolution. Hopeful, fascinating, and profound, A Cure for Darkness is \"recommended reading for anyone with even a peripheral interest in depression\" (Washington Examiner).\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Cure for Darkness: The Story of Depression and How We Treat It | Alex Riley | Paperback | 9781501198786 | Used: Like New | Psychology 1627195","offer_id":50700045156610,"sku":"1627195","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71A_sfMnhNL.jpg?v=1791594546","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/cure-for-darkness-the-story-of-depression-and-how-we-treat-it","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
