The Evolutionary Basis of Depression

[Jochen Fromm-4]

There is a new book from Paul Keedwell named
"How Sadness Survived: The Evolutionary Basis of
Depression". The thesis is that depression has evolved
to avoid the pursuit of unachievable goals. What
do you think of it? See

I found it to be an interesting read, but the ending left me kind of sad.
