One in four adults are prescribed psychiatric medication. Between a quarter and a fifth of young people in the UK now suffer a mental disorder. These numbers represent a huge and recent expansion in mental health labelling, but reveal nothing of the experience of those seeking help.
Join bestselling author Dr Gavin Francis who’ll be drawing on three decades of medical practice as he explores the expanding landscape of psychiatric diagnoses, the lived realities behind statistics, and the limitations of treating human experience through rigid protocols. He talks to Festival President, Cathy Rentzenbrink, about mood disorders, trauma, anxiety and addiction and why he’s arguing for a more curious, humane and hopeful approach – one that sees the mind not as breakable, but adaptable, responsive and deeply resilient.
‘Francis offers hope and a rare and precious quiet form of consolation‘ – Observer
