The Insanity of Madness: Defining Mental Illness

Exploring the historical and cultural perceptions of mental illness, this book challenges the prevailing notion that madness lacks a clear definition. It argues that despite the complexities in psychiatry and psychology, mental illness is universally recognizable and has a distinct cause and remedy. By examining the failures of contemporary treatment approaches, the author posits that a defined understanding of mental illness exists, suggesting that effective solutions to the epidemic of mental health issues are attainable.
