Reseña del editor:

Brain chemical imbalances have been widely promoted as existing in depression for the past 50 years. In this book, Terry Lynch reveals some shocking truths. Chemical imbalances have never been found to exist in depression. The story of the rise of this falsehood is presented, a falsehood that is more prevalent in modern times then the flat earth delusion was in the past. This falsehood meets psychiatry's own criteria for a delusion. Adhering to principles of logic and science, Terry Lynch illustrates the absurdity of this widely held belief. He includes many references of doctors, other mental health professionals, the media and influential individuals espousing this falsehood as a known fact. He also included statements made by prominent doctors, scientists, psychologists and others over the past fifty years, expressing great concern that this falsehood has been widely misrepresented as if it were a fact, not least by members of the medical profession. The book addresses why drug companies are withdrawing from psychiatric research, who are the big winners and losers, and whether doctors have sufficient knowledge to justify their standing as THE foremost mental health experts. The author describes the major adverse consequences of the depression brain chemical imbalance delusion, and why this and other related mental health delusions must be removed from the mental health landscape, in the public interest. The author presents a better way of understanding and responding to depression, based on what is actually there, rather than on fanciful notions of brain chemical notions that have never been demonstrated to exist. ·

Biografía del autor:

Terry is married to Marianne. Marianne is a psychotherapist, and they work together providing a mental health service in Limerick, Ireland. He has three children, Gary, David and Ciara, Diego (the dog) and Holly (the cat). Diego probably wouldn’t like to admit it to his doggie buddies on the street, but he and Holly are great pals. She is the boss. Terry likes to play the piano. He began learning when he was 7. He plays by ear now, and loves experimenting with chords and melodies. Terry had a rather unusual childhood, which involved living apart from both parents (in different continents) from 4 years onwards. Long story. He experienced much unhappiness and anxiety, especially in his teenage years. These experiences helped Terry develop understanding of and empathy for people experiencing emotional and mental distress. They also contributed to Terry’s determination to ensure that all forms of emotional and psychological distress are dealt with fully and properly. His experience as a medical doctor has shaped Terry’s interest in working with people who have been given psychiatric diagnoses. This group of people tend to become immersed in the psychiatric system, often becoming lost within themselves and within society. This needs to change. Terry Lynch is an Irish medical doctor, psychotherapist and author. His previous books include “Beyond Prozac” and “Selfhood”. He is also a mental health activist, actively promoting the necessary change in mental health understanding, from the current scientifically-flawed, biologically-dominated paradigm to one that accurately reflects the real nature of emotional and psychological distress, including psychiatric diagnoses. He qualified as a medical doctor in 1982 and worked as a GP (Family Physician) for twelve years. Having become disenchanted with some of his medical training, psychiatry in particular, he re-trained as a psychotherapist. From 2000 to the present, Terry Lynch has provided a recovery-oriented mental health service in Limerick, Ireland. Terry intends to write and publish a further 12-15 books about mental health issues over the next 10-15 years. In these books, he intends to set out a far more accurate understanding of emotional emotional health than the current limited medical understanding. The first draft of his next book, “Depression: Its True Nature” is already written, expected publication date mid-2016.
