Across the world, Hari found social scientists who were uncovering evidence that depression and anxiety are not caused by a chemical imbalance in our brains.

Hari sufrió de depresión desde niño y comenzó a tomar antidepresivos cuando era adolescente. Como a toda su generación, le dijeron que la causa de su problema era un desequilibrio quÃmico en su cerebro. Pero años más tarde comenzó a investigar y aprendió que casi todo lo que nos han dicho sobre la depresión y la ansiedad es falso. Viajando por todo el mundo, Hari descubrió que los cientÃficos sociales estaban descubriendo evidencias de que la depresión y la ansiedad no son causadas por un desequilibrio quÃmico en nuestro cerebro, sino que son en gran parte consecuencia de problemas que tienen que ver con la forma en que vivimos hoy en dÃa. Una vez identificadas nueve causas reales de depresión y ansiedad, Hari se dirigió a algunos cientÃficos, que proponen soluciones radicalmente diferentes y que parecen funcionar.
It is only when we listen to our pain that we can follow it back to its source—and only there, when we can see its true causes, can we begin to overcome it.
