Description

El demonio de la depresión, que aparece ahora en una versión aumentada y revisada, es una obra fundamental que obtuvo el National Book Award y fue finalista del Premio Pulitzer. Solomon explora el fenómeno de la depresión a partir de su propia lucha contra la enfermedad y de entrevistas con otros enfermos, médicos y científicos, responsables políticos, investigadores farmacológicos y filósofos; así revela la sutil complejidad y la intensa agonía que la definen.Este libro asume el reto de explicar la depresión y describe el amplio abanico de medicamentos disponibles, la eficacia de las terapias alternativas, y el impacto que la enfermedad tiene en distintos grupos sociales en todo el mundo y a lo largo de la historia. Solomon demuestra una sinceridad, una inteligencia y una erudición extraordinarias a lo largo de este viaje al más oscuro de los secretos familiares. Su contribución a nuestra comprensión de la enfermedad mental y también de la condición humana es asombrosa.
