This book was the end product of life experiences, thoughts and
intellectual wanderings of the author, who through his career and
for the last twenty years was always serving all the three aspects
of a Psychiatrist: He is a clinician, a researcher and an academic
teacher. The book includes a comprehensive history of Psychiatry
since antiquity and until today, with an emphasis not only on main
events but also specifically and with much detail and explanations,
on the chain of events that led to a particular development. At the
center of this work is the question 'What is mental illness?' and
'Does free will exist?'. These are questions which tantalize
Psychiatrists, neuroscientists, psychologists, philosophers,
patients and their families and the sensitive and educated lay
persons alike. Thus, the book includes a comprehensive review and
systematic elaboration on the definition and the concept of mental
illness, a detailed discussion on the issue of free will as well as
the state of the art of contemporary Psychiatry and the
socio-political currents it has provoked. Finally the book includes
a description of the academic, social and professional status of
Psychiatry and Psychiatrists and a view of future needs and
possible developments. A last moment addition was the chapter on
conspiracy theories, as a consequence of the experience with the
social media and the public response to the COVID-19 outbreak which
coincided with the final stage of the preparation of the book.
Their study is an excellent opportunity to dig deep into the
relation among human psychology, mental health, the society and
politics and to swim in intellectually dangerous waters.
