Why is the treatment of mental illness by the Western world so wrong? Who really benefits from psychiatry? And why does a patient in Nigeria have a much better chance of recovery than one in Britain? In the book "Doctoring the Mind," leading clinical psychologist Richard Bentall reveals the shocking truths behind the mental healthcare system in the West. With a heavy reliance on drugs and the profit they bring, psychiatry is based on myths and misconceptions about madness and uses methods that often hinder rather than help the patient. Bentall passionately advocates for a new future for mental health, one that considers the patient as an individual and redefines the understanding and treatment of madness for the 21st century.
