Are you unhappy? Okay; but does that mean you have the “mental disorder” known as “depression?” Just look around you, Dr. Maisel urges readers in Rethinking Depression, and see how many people are diagnosed as “depressed” in our society today. It seems that no one is allowed to be unhappy in this day and age, he suggests, without having it labeled as an abnormal mental disorder. Is this practice in itself normal? Ethical, even?
