Sadness is a part of life, often alternating with happiness, but clinical depression is a debilitating mental disorder that brings relentless torment and detachment from loved ones. Affecting over 250 million people globally, it is the leading mental health issue, with more than a fifth of the UK population reporting symptoms of depression or anxiety. Despite its prevalence, understanding and treatment options remain limited. In MENDING THE MIND, Oliver Kamm shares his personal battle with severe depression and his journey to recovery through professional help. His experience fueled a quest for knowledge about a condition that has plagued humanity throughout history. Kamm explores scientific advancements in understanding depression and highlights insights from writers and artists over time. His message is one of hope: while depression is a serious illness, ongoing scientific inquiry is yielding effective psychological, psychiatric, and pharmacological treatments. Candid and deeply informed by current research, MENDING THE MIND articulates how clinical depression can be addressed and potentially overcome, offering a beacon of hope for those affected.
