'About a year before the breakdown I was having symptoms': sadness, pathology and the Australian newspaper media

Article Abstract:

Media coverage of depression in Australia is analyzed and three primary discourses are explored: the psycho-social, the biomedical, and the administrative/managerial. These discourses present depression as beyond the scope of individual control, resulting in the portrayal of unhappiness as an individualized pathology requiring outside management.
