Excellent- More about Psykhe: The Mental Health Crisis and How We Got Here
The health issue that dominates debate is mental health, which remains poorly understood. One in four people will suffer a mental health issue in the course of each year, and most of them will not seek help due to the stigma that still attaches to mental ill health. Psykhe throws new light on the history of mental health, offering a compelling description and analysis of how events from Classical times to the capitalist age have shaped, reshaped, advanced, stultified, and advanced again the course of human progress in this difficult medical discipline. It discusses how these events have defined today's attitudes towards mental ill health and the modern-day services with which we seek to treat it, and offers a fresh perspective on one of life's most fundamental questions—just what does it mean to live well as a human in the twenty-first century?

Mental health has emerged as the foremost health concern in contemporary discourse, yet it remains inadequately comprehended. Each year, approximately one in four individuals experiences a mental health issue, yet many refrain from seeking assistance due to the enduring stigma associated with mental ill-health. Alarmingly, suicide rates continue to rise year after year. The question arises: are we facing a modern epidemic? If so, how did we arrive at this juncture? To delve into the intricacies of this matter, Psykhe sheds new light on the historical trajectory of mental health, presenting a compelling account of how events spanning from Classical times to the capitalist era have, in turn, shaped, reshaped, advanced, stagnated, and advanced once more the course of human progress in this challenging medical domain. This captivating narrative explores not only how these events have defined our contemporary attitudes towards mental ill-health and the modern-day services employed to treat it, but also offers a fresh perspective on one of life's most fundamental inquiries: what does it truly mean to live well as a human in the twenty-first century?
