Publisher's Synopsis

By many estimations, the Western medical model of mental health is dangerously incomplete. Looking at social, evolutionary, cross-cultural, and nutritional influences, this work deconstructs mental illnesses like depression and anxiety; conditions that appear in different forms and for different reasons; within the culture that defines them.
