Everything you thought you knew about mental health is wrong | Joanna Moncrieff

Joanna Moncrieff challenges the dominant view in psychiatry over the last 40 years - that mental illness is a result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. Is the chemical imbalance theory the biggest myth in medicine? With a free trial, you can watch Joanna debate the promise and dangers of psychedelic drugs NOW at https://iai.tv/video/out-of-our-minds... We tend to think that depression and other mental illnesses are medical conditions caused by problems in the brain, and that framing them this way reduces stigma and leads to better treatment. However, Joanna Moncrieff argues that this is deeply mistaken, and that medicalising mental distress can actually increase stigma, undermine hope of recovery, and distract us from what really helps. Drawing on science, philosophy, and the history of pharmaceutical marketing, join Joanna in the search for a new and better model of mental health. #psychology #mentalhealth #science #neuroscience Joanna Moncrieff is a British psychiatrist and academic.
