Description:'The best introduction to mad politics I have ever read' – Rob Chapman, author of Empire of Normality‘A radical antidote to the constraints of our current conceptualisation of mental health’ - Dazed ‘Teaches us how to transform the ways we understand madness, illness, and disability to build a better world’ – Beatrice Adler-Bolton, co-author of Health CommunismMental 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.
