Produktinformationen zu „Depression Debate “
Since the invention of the new generational antidepressant drugs in the
1990s, the biological model of depression prevailed over its alternative explanations.
This happened in spite of the fact that at the same time there has
been a significant increase in the number of patients treated for depression.
The increased presence of depression in everyday life suggests that the
change in the explanatory model also altered the way mental health professionals
and lay people understand depression. Moods and behaviors
previously considered as "normal" are now regarded as mental illness. How to
understand the widespread adaptation of the biological model in a sociologically,
anthropologically meaningful way? This is the central question of
this book. In the book, it is discovered how the following actors relate to the
biological model of depression: a group of scientists debating over depression
treatment, the different actors (patients, doctors, psychologists, administrators,
social workers and nurses) on a psychiatric ward in a mental
hospital (2), and eight patients diagnosed with depression. This book aims
not only at social researchers interested in the medicalization process, but
also at psychiatrists and lay people who are concerned with the problem of
depression treatment.
