Its treatments and medications rest on assumptions that are, at best, unsupported, and at worst, entirely false. There is increasing recognition that environmental factors play a far greater role in mental health than genetic inheritance or inherent brain structure. Despite this, we have never been more medicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNo Such Thing as Normal\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply researched, timely, essential book that will shine a light on the psychiatric industry: its genesis, its obsession with often ineffective, over-medicalised treatments, and its relationship with a pharmaceutical industry driven by profitability rather than meaningful social welfare and change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbove all, Bigg will highlight those who most get left behind by the psychiatric machine, laying out the steps for a mental health system that helps, rather than neglects, the people it claims to serve, and calling for long-overdue, desperately needed change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854710460652,"sku":"9781800819016","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/21d65fa7e3cdb03640f9f7e2e23b7522.jpg?v=1759266010","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/no-such-thing-as-normal-by-marieke-bigg-9781800819016","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
