"Psychiatric epidemiology, like cancer, heart disease, or AIDS epidemiology, increasingly dominates the bio-politics of nations and of worldwide health campaigns like the Global Burden of Disease. Yet this is the first book-length history of psychiatric epidemiology, arguably the oldest of epidemiological disciplines, albeit the slowest to develop intellectually and institutionally. The epidemiology of mental disorders and mental health differs radically from that of other diseases and health conditions in that it studies subjective states, difficult to objectify or precisely define. Despite these obstacles, over many decades, researchers, governments, and international organizations have continually attempted to measure mental states, their distribution and presumed causes in the hope of informing public policy, clinical treatment, social reform, and population management. Since the nineteenth century, epidemiology and earlier proto-epidemiology in dissimilar contexts have served strikingly different purposes, from census counts of the "insane" to imperialist and racist psychological profiles of subaltern groups to attempts to measure diagnostic entities in an entire nation. We argue that these multiple historical paths resulted not in a uniform field based on common paradigms as was the case for cardio-vascular and cancer epidemiology, but in a plurality of psychiatric epidemiologies, driven by different intellectual questions, reformist ideals, national cultures, and social control objectives"--

Comment vivent les Américains décrits comme maniaco-dépressifs ? Ce livre explore leur expérience quotidienne à travers une enquête ethnographique auprès de groupes de soutien, de groupes de travail en psychiatrie et de salariés du marketing pharmaceutique. Il s'appuie sur la propre expérience de l'auteur avec les troubles bipolaires et ouvre une réflexion sur la place de la manie et de la dépression dans la culture américaine. Cette recherche fascinante et parfois dérangeante permet au lecteur de découvrir l'univers des troubles bipolaires tout en posant des questions fondamentales sur la dimension culturelle de l'irrationalité. Que signifie perdre le statut de personne ? Peut-on être parfois rationnel et parfois irrationnel ? Pourquoi certaines personnalités maniaques réussissent-elles socialement tandis que d'autres, la majorité, perdent leur emploi, leur famille et leurs amis ? Quel est le statut des médicaments, pour ceux qui les produisent et pour ceux qui les utilisent ? Le rapport profondément ambivalent de la culture américaine avec la manie, valorisée notamment dans les entreprises, et la dépression, son double inversé, entraîne le lecteur dans une réflexion sur les transformations les plus récentes du capitalisme à partir d'un angle original : l'optimisation de nos états mentaux et de nos émotions.
