For the first eighteen years of my life, I thought it was 'all in my head', meaning it wasn't real, it was a dream, it was fake, it was spoiled, it was shameful, it was weakness. For the next thirteen years, I believed it was 'all in my head' again, but This time, in a very different way: It was due to a malfunction in the brain. But I would learn that neither of these stories were true. The primary reason depression and anxiety were on the rise wasn't in our heads, I discovered that much of it lay in the world around us and how we live in that world. Lost Ties tells the story of journalist and writer Johann Hari's journey to find the underlying causes and possible solutions to the depression he struggled with for many years. This story, which is based on scientific facts and research as well as personal and social experiences, shows that we can turn to more permanent and therapeutic solutions instead of taking our unhappiness for granted and trying to suppress it through medications. “I know that reading about the causes of depression and anxiety can seem daunting at first because they reach deep into our culture. I was intimidated, too. But as I continued on my journey, I realized what lay on the other side: real solutions. They are those chemical antidepressants that don't work for so many of us.” They are not things you buy or swallow, but they may be the starting point for a real way out of our suffering.”
