At a time when the prevalence of mood disorders and antidepressant consumption are at an all-time high, the need for a comprehensive historical understanding of how modern depressive illness came into being has never been more urgent. This book addresses a significant gap in existing scholarly literature on melancholia, depression, and mood disorders by offering a contextualised and critical perspective on the history of melancholia in the first decades of psychiatry, from the 1830s until the turn of the twentieth century. . 410 0$aMental Health in Historical Perspective,$x2634-6044 606 $aSocial history 606 $aMedicine$xHistory 606 $aPsychiatry 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aSocial History 606 $aHistory of Medicine 606 $aPsychiatry 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory. 615 0$aPsychiatry. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 14$aSocial History. 615 24$aHistory of Medicine. 615 24$aPsychiatry. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 676 $a306.09 676 $a900 686 $aHIS015000$aHIS054000$aMED039000$aMED105000$2bisacsh 700 $aJansson$b A?sa$0849962 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910420942303321 996 $aFrom melancholia to depression$91897909 997 $aUNINA
