Beschreibung

<p><strong>'A radical antidote to the constraints of our current conceptualisation of mental health'</strong><em> Dazed</em></p><p><strong>'Exposes the underlying truth that capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with our wellbeing, and teaches us how to transform the ways we understand madness, illness, and disability to build a better world' </strong>Beatrice Adler-Bolton, co-author of <em>Health Communism</em></p><p>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?</p><p>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.</p><p>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; <em>Mad World</em> is a radical and hopeful antidote to pathologisation, gatekeeping and the policing of imagination.</p><p><strong>Micha Frazer-Carroll</strong> is a columnist at the <em>Independent</em>. Micha has written for <em>Vogue, HuffPost, Huck, gal-dem </em>and<em> Dazed.</em> She was nominated for the Comment Awards' Fresh New Voice of the Year Award, and the Observer/Anthony Burgess Award for Arts Criticism.</p>
