No More Normal - Dr Alastair Santhouse
When does sadness become depression? Or stress, trauma? As mental health talk moves into the mainstream, the line between normal and disordered is growing blurrier—and the number of diagnoses is soaring.
In this bold and thought-provoking book, consultant neuropsychiatrist Dr. Alastair Santhouse questions whether we’re truly less mentally healthy than past generations, or simply over-medicalising everyday struggles. Drawing on decades of clinical insight, he challenges today’s diagnostic culture and offers a powerful call to refocus on what truly matters in mental health care.
