Mental depression is a serious issue in contemporary New Zealand, and it has an
increasingly high profile. But during our history, depression has often been hidden
under a long black cloud of denial that we have not always lived up to the Kiwi
ideal of being pragmatic and have not always coped.
Using historic patient records as a starting place, and informed by her own
experience of depression, academic Jacqueline Leckie's timely social history
of depression in Aotearoa analyses its medical, cultural and social contexts
through an historical lens. From detailing its links to melancholia and explaining
its expression within Indigenous and migrant communities, this engrossing book
interrogates how depression was medicalised and has been treated, and how
New Zealanders have lived with it.
