In Britain alone, more than 20% of the adult population take a
psychiatric drug in any one year. This is an increase of over 500%
since 1980 and the numbers continue to grow. Yet, despite this
prescription epidemic, levels of mental illness of all types have
actually increased in number and severity. Using a wealth of
studies, interviews with experts, and detailed analysis, Dr James
Davies argues that this is because we have fundamentally
mischaracterised the problem. Rather than viewing most mental
distress as an understandable reaction to wider societal problems,
we have embraced a medical model which situates the problem solely
within the sufferer and their brain. Urgent and persuasive, Sedated
systematically examines why this individualistic view of mental
illness has been promoted by successive governments and big
business - and why it is so misplaced and dangerous.
