The Medicalisation of Depression
Wednesday, 25 June, 2014
In an age where pharmacy is a global industry, stigma and medicine are now in the position where they are the co-constructors of illness on one hand and mutually exclusive players on the other. Professor Sonia Ryang (Anthropology and International Studies, University of Iowa) extends beyond the area of medicine to an analysis of historical values, political values and global capitalism. A keynote lecture from the State, Society, Stigma: Rethinking Disease in a Global Age symposium. Copyright 2014 La Trobe University, all rights reserved. Contact for permissions.
