Concern
about the current state of psychiatry, the harm caused by inappropriate and
overuse use of medication for many people, is being discussed as in this proposed
session at the Hay on Wye Philosophy & Music Festival - HowTheLightsGetIn
I attended
this in 2012 with Dr Bob Johnson, Ana Silvera, Richard Bentall and others who
are concerned. Well worth a visit to Hay on Wye for this and the Literary
Festival.

From depression to bipolar disorder,
we think psychiatric diagnoses are real. Yet many now argue that categories of
mental illness have little basis in nature. Is it time to abandon psychiatry
and its classifications? Would this usher in a new era of effective health care
or cause widespread harm?
President of the World Psychiatric
Association Dinesh Bhugra, radical psychiatrist David Healy and clinical
psychologist Richard Bentall debate the future of psychiatry.
