A myth-busting account of madness and our customary responses to madness through the lens of lived experience. The author's message is that madness is a profoundly disruptive but full human experience. Most people don't see it that way, from the experts who make up clever theories about brain disease, to the people down the road who have irrational fears about mad axe-murderers. A compelling book that uncovers widespread injustice, and ends with hope that people with mental distress will be treated with respect and humanity. New Zealander Mary O'Hagan is the developer of PeerZone - peer led workshops in mental health and addiction.
