"Antidepressants and Advertising: Marketing Happiness" by David Hunter critiques the powerful influence of marketing on the perception and use of antidepressants. The book explores how pharmaceutical companies promote these medications as quick fixes for complex emotional challenges, often blurring the lines between genuine health needs and consumerism. Hunter examines the cultural implications of seeking happiness through commercial means, urging readers to consider the societal pressures that contribute to mental health issues. Through engaging analysis and thought-provoking insights, the book calls for a more nuanced understanding of mental health, questioning the commodification of happiness in modern society.
