Publisher's Summary

Mental health affects us all, and yet it remains elusive as a concept.

Does getting a diagnosis help or hinder it? How is mental well-being, which is often incredibly personal, driven by widespread societal suffering? Can it be a social construct and real at the same time?

These are some of the big questions Micha Frazer-Carroll asks as she reveals mental health to be a political issue that needs deeper understanding beyond today’s 'awareness raising' campaigns.

Exploring the history of asylums and psychiatry; the relationship between disability and broader liberation movements; alternative models of care; the relationship between art and mental health; law and the decarceration of mental health, Mad World is a radical and hopeful antidote to pathologization, gatekeeping and the policing of imagination.

If your work relates to mental health, read this!

I work and volunteer in mental health and this book was so revelationary - I need to sit down with it again and take notes. While there were things I was already familiar with, I learned lots and want to read again and take notes so we can contribute to "care" that cares in healthcare.

La perfection même

Fascinante écoute. L’auteur par son récit y ajoute les émotions. J’ai adoré ma première écoute et je vais me laisser bercer par la seconde! Juste parfait. Quelle belle vision critique! Réfléchis , documenté, cet ouvrage est un incontournable pour saisir les nombreux enjeux de santé mentale dans le monde.
