Titles in Collection & Description
Sedated: How Modern Capitalism Created Our Mental Health Crisis by James Davies is a provocative and deeply insightful exploration of the intersection between mental health and the socio-economic systems that shape our lives. Davies argues that the soaring rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders are not just individual struggles but symptoms of a broken system. Drawing on extensive research, interviews with experts, and real-life case studies, he reveals how the profit-driven priorities of pharmaceutical companies, the commodification of healthcare, and the erosion of social support systems have profoundly shaped our understanding and treatment of mental health.
Davies critiques the dominant medical model that prioritizes quick fixes, like medication, over addressing the root causes of distress—such as inequality, job insecurity, and the loss of community. He challenges readers to rethink the way we approach mental health, advocating for systemic change that prioritizes human well-being over corporate profits. Both a compelling critique and a call to action, Sedated is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the deeper forces behind the mental health crisis and envision a healthier, more equitable future.
