A straight talking introduction to psychiatric diagnosis

Do you still need your psychiatric diagnosis? This book will help you to decide. A revolution is underway in mental health. If the authors of the diagnostic manuals are admitting that psychiatric diagnoses are not supported by evidence, then no one should be forced to accept them.

If many mental health workers are openly questioning diagnosis and saying we need a different and better system, then service users and carers should be allowed to do so too.

This book is about choice. It is about giving people the information to make up their own minds, and exploring alternatives for those who wish to do so.
