Manufacturing Depression by Gary Greenberg

He seems to prefer talk therapy over taking prescription drugs because he does not believe in the scientific materialism that claims that depression is merely due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. He also thinks that depression is overdiagnosed and doctors often do not diagnose mental illness correctly given the subjective nature of the symptoms and diagnosis itself. He talks about how psychologists have struggled to turn their profession into a respectable medical science when their field may not be hard science. He also tells depression is just a set of symptoms and the symptoms indicate depression. In short, it is a very important book for those that want to understand the historical development of health and disease, drug companies, etc.
