Depression and Globalization : The Politics of Mental Health in the 21st Century

Depression and Globalisation is an important academic text on the political aspects of depression, specifically the relationship between globalisation and depression.

In this text Dr. Walker reestablishes the link between mental health research and treatment, along with the political and economical influences outside the world of academic and clinical mental health.

Overall, this book will accomplish the task of how closely and inextricably linked these diverse fields are and the way they operate together to produce not only a cultural representation of mental illness but influence the extent and type of mental distress in the 21st century.
