Lost Connections

From *New York Times* bestselling author Johann Hari, a radical re-evaluation of depression and anxiety. Having experienced depression since childhood and taken antidepressants, Hari, trained in social sciences, embarked on a global investigation into their true causes. He reveals that prevalent understandings—like the chemical imbalance theory—are largely inaccurate. Instead, modern living's societal issues are primary drivers. From groundbreaking experiments in Baltimore to an Amish community in Indiana, Hari uncovers nine real causes and seven actionable, evidence-based solutions for these widespread crises. Much like his revolutionary TED Talk on addiction, this book offers a transformative perspective, challenging how we think about one of culture's biggest challenges.
