Paperback / softback
Description
'A radical antidote to the constraints of our current conceptualisation of mental health' DazedMental health is a political issue, but we often discuss it as a personal one.
How is the current mental health crisis connected to capitalism, racism and other social issues?
In a different world, how might we transform the ways that we think about mental health, diagnosis and treatment?These are some of the big questions Micha Frazer-Carroll asks as she reveals mental health to be an urgent political concern that needs deeper understanding beyond today's 'awareness-raising' campaigns. Exploring the history of asylums and psychiatry; the relationship between disability justice, queer liberation and mental health; art and creativity; prisons and abolition; and alternative models of care; Mad World is a radical and hopeful antidote to pathologisation, gatekeeping and the policing of imagination.
