Lost Connections

Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions
Book • 2019
In 'Lost Connections', Johann Hari explores the increasing rates of depression and anxiety in the Western world.

Through a 40,000-mile journey interviewing experts and visiting various communities, Hari identifies nine causes of depression and anxiety, all centered around the theme of disconnection.

These causes include disconnection from meaningful work, other people, meaningful values, childhood trauma, status and respect, the natural world, and a hopeful or secure future.

The book also delves into the role of genes and brain changes.

Hari argues that traditional solutions focusing on chemical imbalances are insufficient and proposes alternative solutions based on reconnection, such as social prescribing, community engagement, and addressing societal issues like inequality and lack of social security.
