    "In this book, the author explores how personality disorders rose to prominence in a variety of disciplines and the controversies they have generated.

    Since the earliest medical, philosophical, and literary texts in ancient civilizations, madness has posed some basic issues: how to separate sanity from insanity, to distinguish mental and bodily illnesses, and to specify the variety of internal and external forces that lead people to become mentally ill.

The puzzles that madness presents are likely to remain unresolved for the foreseeable future and perhaps forever.

    Recognising that depression is a devastating illness that affects some people, this book argues that the increased prevalence of major depressive disorder is due not to a genuine rise in mental disease, as many claim, but to the way that normal human sadness has been "pathologised" since 1980.
