Summary:

Everybody has times of sadness, but depression is different. It is sadness gone wrong. The World Health Organisation predicts that depression will be the main illness of the 21st century; it currently costs the United States $40 billion a year: more than AIDS. Yet little is known for certain about the causes of depression, and although some treatments do alleviate the symptoms, nobody is sure how they work. Embryologist and author Professor Lewis Wolpert, himself a victim of depression, sets out to discover what we know and what we need to find out about this scourge of modern society.
