    Fabulous article on the fact that “mental health is produced socially” — and what the implications and evidence suggest about how research and treatment must evolve.https://twitter.com/voxdotcom/status/969810858854486016 …

        Looking at #depression from another perspective, it’s a perfectly legitimate and logical way of your brain telling you that something is wrong with the way you are living your life: rather than treat the clever brain for doing its job, find & treat the cause! You become a Pearl!

        This is not new. Sociological and anthropological analyses of mental health have been making this point for 50 years or more. It’s new within the narrow confines of a biomedical worldview perhaps.

        This is disappointing. From what I have seen most in the field say Hari distorts evidence or doesn't back up his claims. Many debunks of his book/articles about.

        As someone who designed and architected microprocessors - the brains of the modern computer -for 30 years, I was absolutely riveted by your book/theory. BTW, history based prediction has been common in microprocessors since the 90s!

        I hesitate to say this but you should look into Hari’s past before endorsing this plagiarist and cherry-picker of evidence. His reputation as a reporter is trash in the UK. Disappointing @voxdotcom gave him a platform.

        We have always known that social / environmental factors contribute to depression. Just read any basic psychology textbook. "Chemical imbalance" is just an anti-psychiatry straw man of modern clinical psychiatry, confusing advertisements with science.http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/04/05/chemical-imbalance/ …

        Johann Hari is a British journalist who was involved in a plagiarism scandal some years ago. He's not a qualified clinician. I advise people with depression to check @StuartJRitchie's criticisms of Hari's work before considering any changes to their current course of treatment.
