Abstract: Recent studies have found that the vast majority of the public believes that mental illness is real and that it is treatable. And yet, fewer than half of people with diagnosable mental illnesses get treatment in any given year, and of those who do, only half adhere to it. Underlying this perception, Daniel Morehead, M.D., suggests there are unrebutted critiques of psychiatry that have promoted the idea that mental health treatment is deeply flawed. In Science Over Stigma, he cogently lays out the science behind mental illness and mental health care, candidly discussing both what is known and what remains unknown. He also delves into the prevalence of mental illness and the social and physical consequences that make it such a pressing issue to tackle. In accessible language and with practical tips offered throughout, this book invites all readers to be advocates for the destigmatization of mental illness and mental health care.
