Audacemente ambizioso, profondamente toccante e magistrale nella portata' Steve Silberman, autore di Neurotribes 'Espansivo e riflessivo, illumina la complessità e l'inafferrabilità del suo argomento' New Statesman La depressione è una delle principali cause di disabilità in tutto il mondo oggi, una crescente crisi sanitaria che ci riguarda tutti. È una condizione complessa e diversificata. Ma è anche altamente curabile. In questa storia profonda e travolgente, Alex Riley traccia gli sviluppi macabri, ingegnosi e spesso sorprendenti nella scienza dell'assistenza sanitaria mentale negli ultimi 2000 anni. Nel tentativo di comprendere le proprie esperienze con la malattia mentale, Riley intreccia la storia della sua famiglia con affascinanti storie di trattamenti biologici e psicologici che illuminano il passato, mettono in discussione lo stato attuale delle diagnosi e indagano l'entusiasmo e le speranze per i trattamenti futuri. Dalla ricomparsa di terapie dimenticate da tempo a un gruppo di nonne che sono in prima linea in una rivoluzione nell'assistenza sanitaria mentale, A Cure for Darkness è un'esplorazione essenziale di uno dei problemi più urgenti del nostro tempo.
