<p><b>A provocative and shocking look at how western society is
misunderstanding and mistreating mental illness. </b><b>Perfect
for fans of <i>Empire of Pain </i>and <i>Dope Sick.</i></b><br>
<b><br>
In Britain alone, more than 20% of the adult population take a
psychiatric drug in any one year. This is an increase of over
500% since 1980 and the numbers continue to grow. Yet, despite
this prescription epidemic, levels of mental illness of all
types have actually increased in number and severity.<br>
</b><br>
Using a wealth of studies, interviews with experts, and detailed
analysis, Dr James Davies argues that this is because we have
fundamentally mischaracterised the problem. Rather than viewing
most mental distress as an understandable reaction to wider
societal problems, we have embraced a medical model which situates
the problem solely within the sufferer and their brain. </p>
<p>Urgent and persuasive, <i>Sedated </i>systematically examines
why this individualistic view of mental illness has been promoted
by successive governments and big business – and why it is so
misplaced and dangerous.</p>
