Description
Mad World: The Politics of Mental Health by Micha Frazer-Carroll Mental health is often discussed as a personal issue, but Micha Frazer-Carroll argues that it is also a pressing political concern. In this book, she explores the connections between mental health, capitalism, racism, and other social issues, and examines how we can transform our understanding of mental health and illness to build a better world. Frazer-Carroll draws on a range of topics, including the history of asylums and psychiatry, disability justice, queer liberation, art and creativity, and alternative models of care. She offers a radical and hopeful critique of the current mental health system, and proposes new ways of thinking about mental health, diagnosis, and treatment. By examining the intersections between mental health and other social issues, Frazer-Carroll sheds new light on the urgent need for a more nuanced and politicised approach to mental health.
