Beschreibung
From the New York Times. bestselling author of Black Man in a White Coat. comes a powerful and urgent call to center psychiatry and mental health care within mainstream medicine. As much as we all might wish that mental health problems-with their elusive causes and unsettling behaviors-simply did not exist, millions of people suffer from them, sometimes to an extreme extent. Many others face addiction to alcohol and other drugs, as overdose and suicide deaths abound. Yet the vast majority of doctors receive minimal instruction during their lengthy medical training in treating these conditions. This mismatch ignores the clear overlap between physical and mental distress, and too-often puts psychiatrists on the outside looking in as the medical system continues to fail many patients. In Facing The Unseen. , bestselling author, professor of psychiatry, and practicing physician Damon Tweedy guides us through his days working in outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, and hospitals as he meets people from all walks of life who are grappling with physical and psychological illnesses. In powerful, compassionate, and eloquent prose, Tweedy argues for a more comprehensive and integrated approach, one in which people with mental illness have access to a health care system that places their full well-being front and center.
