Depression - Fishbowl articles

"The Anatomy of Melancholy" by Andrew Solomon.
It's a great article that got blown up into his National Book Award-winning book Noonday Demon.

"Manufacturing Depression" (from Harper's) isn't readily online, but an article that covers some of the material can be found at: by Louis Menand about Gary Greenberg and had some amazing insights both emic-ally and etic-ally.

And...
a review of Noonday Demon by Andrew Solomon.

and something by Andrew Solomon that came out about the same time as Noonday Demon.
