Description

For centuries so called 'difficult women' have been labelled as 'hysterical' and 'out of their minds'. Today they wait longer for health diagnoses, often being told it's 'all in their heads'. Although healthcare systems are overburdened, why are women the first to feel the effects of this? Why is it so hard for women to find the kind of help they need? Why is no one listening to them? And why have so many lost faith in mental healthcare? Drawing on the lived experiences of women, alongside expert commentators, recent history, current events, and her own personal and professional experience, Dr Linda Gask explores women's mental healthcare today. In doing so she confronts her role as a psychiatrist, recalling experiences treating women and as a woman who has received mental healthcare, illustrating the dire need for more change, faster. Women can't all be out of their minds.

Editorial Reviews

'A psychiatrist's clear, accessible feminist narrative of the mental health problems girls and women still face from childhood through to old age, pressured to care for others while not receiving proper care from the mental health system themselves. It reminded me of so many of the reasons why a feminist perspective helps us understand & live our lives.' Maggie Gee, author of The Ice People, The White Family and The Red Children
