The Depressed Generation | Sertraline

Sertraline — the SSRI antidepressant prescribed to over 40 million people worldwide, one of the most dispensed medications in the history of psychiatry — gives Mason Newman a subject at the precise intersection of pharmaceutical culture and the mental health conversation that defines his generation. The Depressed Generation series has always been interested in the specific language of prescription medicine: the blister pack, the dosage instruction, the clinical naming of emotional states. Sertraline is the most direct engagement with that language yet — a drug named, identified, its presence in the cultural landscape acknowledged without euphemism.
