5.0 out of 5 stars This is scary
Reviewed in Australia on 27 May 2023

This book highlights the guidelines psychiatrists use to determine mental health and if you read the variety of behavioural issues outlined in this “desk guide” diagnostic criteria everyone has some kind of mental illness,

Just on a cursory overview I’ve discovered I have the symptoms of Oppositional Defiance Disorder, bipolar disorder (sometimes I’m happy sometimes I’m sad… how unusual is that!), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, insomnia disorder… I’m a mess!

But apparently psychiatrists can prescribe medications for all of these “conditions”… unfortunately they have less than a 15% success rate…. You have better odds if you go to your local witch doctor.

I bought this after watching a couple of videos on the subject of the connection between drug companies and psychiatrists… I’ve not been disappointed.

PS: in earlier versions homosexuality was listed as a mental disorder but was voted out because of public demonstrations and outrage.

This book proves psychiatry is anything but an “exact science”.

4.0 out of 5 stars fascinating book for a non-expert
Reviewed in Australia on 15 October 2020

The book is almost tiny. I'm not qualified to comment on the content, but the book would be easier to read if it was 5 to 10mm wider with the extra space added to the margins near the the spine.
Amateurs should not try to self-diagnose, but I find it interesting to see what went into a professional diagnosis, and perhaps why an alternative diagnosis was not made.

This book has been referred to us for our internship at the Master's degree level. It comes very handy during fieldwork, due to its portability.
The cover and the pages are quite dull, as I believe it must have remained in stock for too long. However, it's in a good condition with clear printing.
