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\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52157540827424,"sku":"NEW1501198777","price":17.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71G2cIu_vqL.jpg?v=1786046472","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-cure-for-darkness-the-story-of-depression-and-how-we-treat-it-1501198777","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
