      title = {From melancholia to depression : disordered mood in  nineteenth-century psychiatry /},
      abstract = {This open access book maps a crucial but neglected chapter  in the history of psychiatry: how was melancholia  transformed in the nineteenth century from traditional  melancholy madness into a modern biomedical mood disorder,  paving the way for the emergence of clinical depression as  a psychiatric illness in the twentieth century? At a time  when the prevalence of mood disorders and antidepressant  consumption are at an all-time high, the need for a  comprehensive historical understanding of how modern  depressive illness came into being has never been more  urgent. This book addresses a significant gap in existing  scholarly literature on melancholia, depression, and mood  disorders by offering a contextualised and critical  perspective on the history of melancholia in the first  decades of psychiatry, from the 1830s until the turn of the  twentieth century.},
