Book Description
Culturally deviant. Possessed by the devil. Sick. Genetically disturbed. Biochemically imbalanced. Throughout American history, attitudes toward mental illness have vacillated from sympathy and support to disdain and neglect. Numerous Americans from all walks of life are diagnosed with a mental health condition each year. Why are the attention and resources allotted to this policy area disproportionately low?
