This Book Will Change Your Mind About Mental Health by Nathan Filer
A journey into the heartland of psychiatry
A compassionate, accessible exploration of how we understand mental illness—particularly psychosis and schizophrenia—combining lived experience with interviews and research to question diagnostic labels and a purely biomedical model. It traces the history and politics of psychiatry, weighs the benefits and harms of medication, foregrounds trauma and social context, and highlights movements like Hearing Voices. Eschewing easy answers, it demystifies complex science, challenges stigma, and argues for humane, person-centered support that listens to what people say about their own minds.
