Depression is amorphous. It defies easy generalization, and eludes
medical and legal categories. Is it part of the self, or its
predator? Can a sufferer be held responsible for their actions?
This edited collection provides a holistic study of a protean
illness. If the law is to regulate the lives of those who suffer
from depression, it is vital that lawyers understand the condition.
Drawing upon a wide-ranging expertise, this volume looks at
depression from four viewpoints: that of the sufferer, the
clinician, the ethicist, and the lawyer. Topics covered include the
cultural history of depression; causes, epidemiology, and
diagnosis; the autonomy debate; criminal responsibility; public
health law; depression in the workplace; depression and children;
and assisted suicide. First-hand accounts from sufferers are
followed by contributions from clinicians who say what depression
is, outline its demography and therapeutic options, and indicate
the legal and ethical problems that trouble them the most. The
essays then go on to explore legal and ethical questions in depth.
This collection is essential reading for lawyers seeking a broader
understanding of depression, and non-lawyers seeking an insight
into the difficulty law has engaging with the condition.
