This is a fantastic read. Using the UK context it examines mental health from a sociopolitical and economic context. It is critical of the shift made during the Thatcher era to all cause medicalisation and depoliticising, shifting to centre responsibility for mental distress on to the individual. Big Pharma and their cosy and close ties with regulatory bodies are also covered.

Interviews a range of fascinating contributers.

Still neglecting my current fiction reads even though they are good.

In the mood for some non fiction. Early days but this is proving interesting.
