Depression's Underlying Cause | Book Insight on Lost Connections by Johann Hari
发布时间 2022-05-18 14:00:30 来源
摘要
*Prompted by his own experience of living with depression and the escalating levels of depression and anxiety across the Western world, Johann Hari set out on a three-year investigation, interviewing experts and sufferers the world over.
*He questions the conventional wisdom about depression – essentially that it’s all in our heads, caused by an imbalance in our brain chemistry – and the efficacy of antidepressants.
*Looking outside our heads, rather than within, Hari argues, we can identify an alternative source for the rise in mental-health issues: disconnection from truly rewarding work, from other people, from meaningful values to live by, and even from the natural world.
*To improve our mental health, we need to seek connections – renewing links with others, finding fulfilling work, building better cultural values and tapping into our spiritual sides.
*In short, better mental health is a society-wide effort, rather than a matter confined to doctor and patient.
