Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"
Mental
health
is a political issue, but we often discuss it as a personal one. How is the current
mental
health
crisis connected to capitalism, racism and other social issues? In a different
world
, how might we transform the ways that we think about
mental
health
, diagnosis and treatment? These are some of the big questions Micha Frazer-Carroll asks as she reveals
mental
health
to be an urgent political concern that needs deeper understanding beyond today's 'awareness-raising' campaigns. Exploring the history of asylums and psychiatry; the relationship between disability justice, queer liberation and
mental
health
; art and creativity; prisons and abolition; and alternative models of care; '
Mad
World
' is a radical and hopeful antidote to pathologisation, gatekeeping and the policing of imagination."--From publisher.
