James Davies – The Sedations of Nations

The Sedations of Nations: The underlying reasons why our mental health systems are failing In this presentation, Dr. James Davies calls for major social and economic reform to tackle the crisis in poor mental health outcomes, revealing the political, corporate and economic motives behind the promotion of the medical model, which depoliticises, individualises, commodifies and pathologises our emotional distress – a model, while handsomely serving neoliberal aims and objectives, has presided over decades of worsening clinical outcomes. www.socialchange.is
