by Alastair Santhouse
challenging
emotional
hopeful
informative
inspiring
reflective
sad
fast-paced
When I started listening to the audiobook I really didn't think I'd become so interested in the authors work.
His viewpoint about how what's going on in a person's mind, past or current issues that affect mental health, and how they can affect the body is a revelation. He describes how doctors only see the "outside" of a person and try to treat the physical symptoms, without digging deeper into their mental health, which can cause more harm itself.
The case stories he tells of people suffering for many years are fascinating. They are constantly returning to the doctors with physical issues that could be quickly and accurately diagnosed, if only there was more time and knowledge to dig into that person's life.
