Jak odzyskać siebie i tracone więzi

Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions is a book by Award-winning journalist Johann Hari. He investigates whether depression and anxiety are caused by a chemical imbalance in our brains, as we have been told, or if there are other factors at play. Hari suffers from depression since childhood and started taking antidepressants in his teenage years, but he questions the conventional wisdom of this approach. To uncover the truth behind the real causes of depression and anxiety, Hari travels across the world, meeting social scientists who discover evidence that these problems are not solely within our brains. His journey takes him from the tunnels beneath Las Vegas to an Amish community in Indiana and a protest movement in Berlin. Through his research, Hari uncovers nine real causes of depression and anxiety, which are mainly related to how we live today. The solutions he presents are distinctly different from those previously offered. This book challenges conventional thinking about mental illness and offers novel insights and approaches to treating depression and anxiety.
