Since the 1990s, suicide in recession-plagued Japan has soared, and rates of depression have both increased and received greater public attention. This title explores how depression has become a national disease and entered the Japanese lexicon, and how psychiatry has overcome the longstanding resistance to its intrusion in Japanese life.
