Silent reflections remain unheard
Matthew Higgins, Radhika Palepu, John Little- Psychiatry and Mental health
Objective
To consider the contribution of non-clinical factors in the rising rate of mental health presentations and explore the associated silence within the psychiatric profession.
Conclusion
Medicalisation, concept creep and group think, alongside societal demand and expectations, have collectively contributed toward a distorted view of mental health and illness. Equitable service provision has been hindered by the silence of important perspectives.
