520 1  "How and why has depression become the dominant personal 
       unhappiness of our time? Alain Ehrenberg presents a 
       history of depression's growth throughout the twentieth 
       century, revealing the ways in which social, cultural, and
       scientific factors from Freud to Prozac have radically 
       changed how we think about mental illness."
