A longtime sufferer of depression, in 2007 he enrolled himself in a clinical trial for major depression (after his initial application for a minor depression trial was rejected). He wrote about his experience in a Harper's magazine piece, which received a tremendous response from readers..\u003cp\u003e- \"Am I happy enough?\" This has been a pivotal question since America's inception. Am I not happy enough because I am depressed? is a more recent version. Greenberg shows how depression has been manufactured--not as an illness, but as an idea about our suffering, its source, and its relief. He challenges us to look at depression in a new way..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- A nation of depressives: In the twenty years since their introduction, antidepressants have become staples of our medicine chests--upwards of 30 million Americans are taking them at an annual cost of more than $10 billion. Even more important, Greenberg argues, it has become common, if not mandatory, to think of our unhappiness as a disease that can, and should, be treated by medication. Manufacturing Depression tells the story of how we got to this peculiar point in our history. .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Manufacturing Depression: The Secret History of a Modern Disease | Gary Greenberg | Hardcover | 9781416569794 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks E 1742928","offer_id":48180238942360,"sku":"1742928","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/41fQ82lsLML.jpg?v=1772218957","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/manufacturing-depression-the-secret-history-of-a-modern-disease","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
