The New Black: Mourning, Melancholia And Depression By Darian Leader

Posted at 5:03PM Wednesday 12 Mar 2008

Darian Leader, a Freudian psychoanalyst, starts this book on depression by telling a story about a woman who has been prescribed antidepressants. When she gets the package, it is not what she expects - not a bottle rattling with loose pills, but a sterile foil strip in which the pills have been wrapped individually.
