Looking at social, evolutionary, cross-cultural, and nutritional influences, this book deconstructs mental illnesses like depression and anxiety - conditions that appear in different forms and for different reasons - within the culture that defines them. It helps us relax our grip on the medical model to discover a perspective on mental illness.
