The Maps We Carry - Psychedelics, trauma and our new path to mental health

ALAIN DE BOTTON ''Radically open-minded. An extraordinary, paradigm-shifting work'' NATHAN FILER Featuring interviews with leading figures including Amanda Fielding, Michael Pollan and Gabor Mate What if treating misery as a medical problem is making us miserable? Someone dies by suicide every 40 seconds. Antidepressant use in the West has more than doubled in the last twenty years. Yet no biological test can diagnose any mental health problem. So where are we going wrong? Rose Cartwright was once the poster-girl for OCD. Now, she reveals how the failure of the mental health system led her to radical action. Uncovering her trauma through a series of mind-bending psychedelic trips, she explores a new path to healing. If you have ever asked yourself: ''why am I like this?'' This revolutionary book - part memoir, part manifesto - could change your life.
