More about the book
The book explores the evolution of diagnostic cultures through empirical case studies of psychological conditions like depression and ADHD. It employs cultural-psychological and sociological analyses to examine how these diagnoses reshape existential, moral, and political issues into individual psychiatric concerns. This critical inquiry raises questions about the implications of such transformations on society and individual identity.
