Brilliant and indispensable.' - Stephen Fry 'Finally, a book about depression that isn't a prescriptive self-help manual. Johnston's deftly expresses how lonely and isolating depression can be for sufferers. Poignant and humorous in equal measure.' Sunday Times There are many different breeds of Black Dog affecting millions of people from all walks of life. The Black Dog is an equal opportunity mongrel. It was Winston Churchill who popularized the phrase Black Dog to describe the bouts of depression he experienced for much of his life.

Book Synopsis Happy Pills in America by : David Herzberg
Download or read book Happy Pills in America written by David Herzberg and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valium. Paxil. Prozac. Prescribed by the millions each year, these medications have been hailed as wonder drugs and vilified as numbing and addictive crutches. Where did this “blockbuster drug” phenomenon come from? What factors led to the mass acceptance of tranquilizers and antidepressants? And how has their widespread use affected American culture? David Herzberg addresses these questions by tracing the rise of psychiatric medicines, from Miltown in the 1950s to Valium in the 1970s to Prozac in the 1990s. The result is more than a story of doctors and patients. From bare-knuckled marketing campaigns to political activism by feminists and antidrug warriors, the fate of psychopharmacology has been intimately wrapped up in the broader currents of modern American history. Beginning with the emergence of a medical marketplace for psychoactive drugs in the postwar consumer culture, Herzberg traces how “happy pills” became embroiled in Cold War gender battles and the explosive politics of the “war against drugs”—and how feminists brought the two issues together in a dramatic campaign against Valium addiction in the 1970s. A final look at antidepressants shows that even the Prozac phenomenon owed as much to commerce and culture as to scientific wizardry. With a barrage of “ask your doctor about” advertisements competing for attention with shocking news of drug company malfeasance, Happy Pills is an invaluable look at how the commercialization of medicine has transformed American culture since the end of World War II.
Book Synopsis I Am Kellie Earl by : Maggie Charters
Download or read book I Am Kellie Earl written by Maggie Charters and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kellie Earl is a child of the fifties in Melbourne, Australia. She is a successful author but not content with her lot. Jana, her mother, is Russian-born, and Kellie longs to hear of the life she left behind. She wants to know the identity of her father, but the pain is too much for Jana to disclose, as is the truth about Kellie’s half-brother. Her mother’s wealthy husband, George Spiatis, taunts Kellie. It is perhaps this abusive influence that changes Kellie into Miss Zed, a cold-hearted murderess. In the case of George, the villain becomes the victim, and Kellie feels as if she was practically set up to kill this monster of a man. Lies now become half-truths as imagination protects Kellie from life’s harsh reality. You might want to believe her innocent. You might label her “too cute” to be anything short of charming. Perhaps you will even label her the victim as Kellie travels within the dark walls of Fairlea Women’s Prison, where she finds light at the end of her dismal tunnel.
Book Synopsis Rethinking Therapeutic Culture by : Timothy Aubry
Download or read book Rethinking Therapeutic Culture written by Timothy Aubry and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past half century, intellectuals and other critics have lamented America s descent into a therapeutic cultureor in Christopher Lasch s lasting phrase, a culture of narcissism. But is that the case? The essays in this collection take a fresh look at therapeutic culture and its critiques. Rather than a cesspool of self-involvement, therapeutic culture may instead be a productive and meaningful way that people negotiate with issues of culture, society, race, gender, and identity. Most important, the editors and contributors grapple with the historically and socially constructed nature of therapeutic culture and its influence. With its dazzling array of contributors and perspectives, this is a book worth getting off the couch for."

Book Synopsis Intimate Adversaries by : Alexandra Dundas Todd
Download or read book Intimate Adversaries written by Alexandra Dundas Todd and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective communication between doctors and patients is essential to good health care, yet patients increasingly complain of impersonal, overly technical medical treatment. Physicians, on the other hand, report that their patients have unrealistic expectations and ignore recommendations. Problems in doctor-patient communication increase when the patient is a woman. Social values and attitudes toward reproduction, women's bodies, and femininity are powerful, if subtle, influences on health care delivery. For over two years, Alexandra Dundas Todd audiotaped and observed communications between gynecologists and observed communications between gynecologists and women patients in a private practitioner's office and in a community clinic. Intimate Adversaries provides a close-up view of what takes place in medical interactions centered on reproductive care. Todd is especially sensitive to the difficulties caused by the different perspectives of doctor and patient. Whereas doctors usually concentrate on a biomedical approach, patients view their biological concerns as embedded in broader contextual experiences. Women tell stories about their health and reproduction to communicate these comprehensive concerns. When the stories are ignored, the women are at risk of receiving inadequate medical care. Writers in political economy and feminist theory have contributed in-depth studies of society and medicine. Less has been said about the relation ship among the epistemological roots of science, the development of the medical model, the treatment of women patients, and influences on diagnostic decision-making. It is the relationship of a scientific world view to modern medicine and to women, as well as analyses of specific interactions, that are the core of this book.

Download or read book Good Man Hunting written by Jacinta Tynan and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A funny, honest and revealing account of a thirty-something woman who has it all - except a good man to spend the rest of her life with. I designed my first wedding when I was seven... Pirate Pete was just a prop to give the scene validity. I really could have done without him so long as I got to one day wear a dress like Barbie's. But something shifts when a girl turns thirty and suddenly Pirate Pete becomes very much a part of the picture... Jacinta Tynan appears to have it all: she's 32, gorgeous and has a fantastic job as a news presenter with Sky News Australia. There's just one thing missing: 'Pirate Pete'. So now she is 'auditioning husbands'. In Good Man Hunting, Jacinta chronicles her search for a man to live the rest of her life with, and her friends' search as well. Jacinta weaves a story that covers speed dating, 'premature declarators' (men who tell you they love you on the second date, then change their mind), getting over a breakup, chemistry, waxing (the Brazilian is in if you're on the market), married men, 'fishing off the company pier' (and the risks involved), older men, sex with an ex, the one-night stand, living alone and the well tested theory that 'Men are from Melbourne, Women are from Sydney' (which makes it hard if you're a Sydney girl). Her mother's advice to go out with any man, 'so long as he doesn't have two heads', doesn't help. As Jacinta says... Dating is short shifts, trial and error, dumping and getting dumped... But I must do it - the dating thing - if I want the Ultimate Outcome. We all must. And so we enter the quagmire of finding a man at an age where, apparently, the odds just got a whole lot less... The thing is, for the first time in our lives we actually need men. Beyond love and intimacy, they are a vital ingredient for the family unit we suddenly crave.
