Diagnosis: Human: The Mental Health System As a Portal to the Collective Psyche - Paperback

by Lindsey Carter (Author)

Are you ready to challenge what you've been taught about mental health and fully step into your power?

We've been conditioned to believe that the mental health system is the ultimate authority on the human condition-that diagnostic labels and professional interventions define who we are and who we should be. But what happens when we reject their deficit-based perspective and start to define ourselves and our human experience?

Diagnosis: Human explores how the mental health system profits from our societal soul loss and how our desire for self-knowledge and well-being are weaponized against us.

Drawing on twelve years of experience in the field and her own transformative healing journey, Lindsey Carter shares some of the lesser-known aspects of the clinical therapeutic setting and the limitations of the mental health system and its primary text, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5).

Through candid reflections, provocative questions, and empowering insights, Diagnosis: Human helps liberate us from the mental health belief system so we can access true, sustainable healing, embody our wholeness, and create a gentler reality.
