Psychology

What's wrong with you? That's the first question we are asked when we present to our doctor with a mental health issue. So then, we are assessed, 'diagnosed' and given a 'treatment' to fix the problem.But consider if you will, that there are over 250 mental illnesses listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and that there are eight (yes, just eight) specific psychopharmacological treatments for all mental illness. Does that make you question in any way the current consensus that there is a 'pill for every mental ill'? Could there be an alternative? Perhaps, just maybe, we are asking the wrong question. With over 30 years as a consulting psychologist and educator, Dr. Bill Saunders takes us on open, honest, heartfelt and sometimes confronting journey of human experience. In his book, Bill challenges some of the 'truths' we know about mental health, sharing stories that will make you laugh and cry, and sometimes leave you in shock! So, do you really want to know what Mental Health is about? Or are you content in the story we are continuing to be told? With millions of dollars every year spent on trying to find biological answers to mental health, discover what's really behind the treatment of mental illness and how it continues to impact our society.
