    Against Depression, Peter Kramer

    This was written by the author of Listening to Prozac.

    After reading Feeling Good, I picked up this book. What a contrast. Whereas Feeling Good emphasizes cognitive therapy for depression, this book takes a more medical/physical approach. I am finding it to be fascinating reading, about the anatomical changes involved in depression. Also there is a fair amount about how genes and environment interact in depression. Sometimes depressives create situations in their environments that result in misery. He also has some insights about how society percieves depression. It's viewed as deep, profound, artistic. The author doesn't like this because there is evidence of damage to brain cells, smaller hippocampus, overactive adrenal glands, in people with the illness of depression...
