Mielen yhteydet - Masennuksen todelliset syyt

The author writes as if he has discovered something absolutely ground breaking that should cause human kind to rise up against big pharma and medical science even though most know that depression and mental ill health is a nuanced area and not everything is solvable with pills, just like with physical health. The author is targeting people what may not be aware of the long scientific and social discussion on depression and I fear his advice to people regarding taking medication is dangerous and unhelpful. This book comes across as his vendetta against big pharma and medical practitioners after her experience with depression and medication. Please go to your therapist/counsellor and stop unloading your unresolved shite onto people looking for helpful ways to overcome their depression.

It's always hard for me to explain why I like certain books. I think the former English major in me would like to articulate something intellectual sounding, but honestly most of the time books are good to me when they come at the right time in my life for me to absorb their message. As someone really diving into the adult world for the first time, I found comfort in this book in that a lot of my confusion and anxiety around the way we live doesn't indicate that there's something wrong with me. It's true that there's still so much about the world I don't understand yet, but even I can clearly see how mentally sick the modern world can make us. Anyone who has ever suffered from depression and not sure why might find great comfort in this book. I did.

i really enjoyed this book. i feel as though it offered insights into the causes and solutions to depression and anxiety that i hadn’t ever considered before. it was full of little anecdotes and packed with really interesting snippets of research and clinical trials and tests. i gave this book a 4/5 stars because although it was super informative and interesting, i felt there were certain moments where the pace slowed slightly, and i felt more inclined to put it down. however, it never lasted long and i got back into it again really quickly.

i’d definitely recommend this book and perhaps even more of Johann Hari’s books (although admittedly i haven’t read them yet, but i hope to in the future).
