Voice of the Drug: What Antidepressants Tell Women About Their Depression
As a student of clinical psychology, I find myself treading a thin line between advocating for awareness of social problems and supporting the efforts of my clients to cope with these problems as best they can.
For example, I often find my clients, especially women clients, couch their problems with depression in terms of "chemical imbalance." When they do this, other problems--poverty, disability, the experience of rape, and other forms of disempowerment--go unacknowledged. These women seem to think, if only their brains were better, they wouldn't feel bad about their situations.
