Black Dogs and Blue Words: Depression and Gender in the Age of Self-Care
Kimberly K. Emmons
Analyses the rhetoric surrounding depression. As depression and other forms of mental illness move from the medical-professional sphere into that of the consumer-public, the boundary at which distress becomes disease grows ever more encompassing, the need for remediation and treatment increasingly warranted. Black Dogs and Blue Words demonstrates the need for rhetorical reading strategies as one response to these expanding and gendered illness definitions.
