Summary
We cannot know how to fix a problem until we understand its causes。 But even for some of the most common mental health problems， three specialists might offer you three completely different treatments。
As a cognitive neuropsychiatrist， Professor Anthony David brings together many fields of study， from social and cognitive psychology to neurology。 The key for each patient might be anything from a traumatic memory to a chemical imbalance， an unhealthy way of thinking or a hidden tumour。
Patrick believes he is dead; Jennifer's schizophrenia medication seems to bring on the symptoms of Parkinson's; Emma is in a coma – or is she just refusing to respond？
These are the fascinating case studies that have driven the most startling insights in Anthony's forty-year career studying illnesses at the edge of human understanding。

Bardzo dobrze poprowadzona książka， gdzie historie osób nie są suchymi faktami， ale autor próbuje nam przekazać swoją wiedzę i metodykę pracy neuropsychiatrii w zrozumiały sposób。

Omatko i córko， jakie nudy。 Jeśli nie czytałeś Sacksa， to lepiej sięgnij po Sacksa， jeśli czytałeś Sacksa to i tak olej to， bo tematyka niemal identyczna， a styl jak i sama zawartość Sacksowi nawet butów nie może czyścić。 Za dużo analiz medycznych， za mało ciekawych przypadków。 1。5/5

It isn't so much as a critique towards the book， but towards the clutter of books around neuropsychiatry that made the reading experience underwhelming。 That the author cites a few of these books that I have recently read， only reiterates my point。 It isn't so much as a critique towards the book， but towards the clutter of books around neuropsychiatry that made the reading experience underwhelming。 That the author cites a few of these books that I have recently read， only reiterates my point。 。。。more

Read this for a course and was so pleasantly surprised at how educational yet digestible it was。 Each chapter follows a different person and describes them in both scientific and personal ways。 Very good read。 Learned a lot and was touched

What a terrifying book！ The writer begins by expressing his commitment to science and empiricism， and his belief in a ‘biopsychosocial’ approach to mental illness that weaves together three strands- biology， psychology and sociology。 Frankly， this seems to boil down to no more than a Whac-A-Mole model of psychiatry in which when a symptom appears， be it biological， psychological， or sociological， just whack it。 The book presents different cases from the doctor’s many years of practice， but it co What a terrifying book！ The writer begins by expressing his commitment to science and empiricism， and his belief in a ‘biopsychosocial’ approach to mental illness that weaves together three strands- biology， psychology and sociology。 Frankly， this seems to boil down to no more than a Whac-A-Mole model of psychiatry in which when a symptom appears， be it biological， psychological， or sociological， just whack it。 The book presents different cases from the doctor’s many years of practice， but it comes over as a very poor man’s Oliver Sachs， providing all the fascination of the case and yet none of the insight。 At one point we are presented with one patient who goes into a catatonic stupor， a state characterized by a marked decrease in response to stimuli with the patient remaining motionless and rigid。 The doctor leans over her and says“You’re safe now。 I think you got like this because you stopped all your medication。 Once you get back on it you will start to feel better。 I promise。” Not exactly the level of explanation that brings comfort to the sufferer or their close family。 It is this lack of depth that characterizes the whole book。 It frightens me that it is being promoted as a new advance in psychiatry。 The book is right to ask the question of why we attach so much stigma to mental illness， but does little to improve matters， and most likely makes them worse。 。。。more

Interesting and moving， but written in a rather stilted style and not offering enough explanation of the syndromes described。 Mr David is obviously a wonderful clinician but perhaps not as good a writer as he is a doctor。

Using extended anecdotal case studies， Anthony David gives us insights into psychotic catatonia， depersonalisation disorder， terminal depression， hypomania， eating disorder， pervasive refusal disorder and conversion disorder。 These are all conditions that can end up in hospitalisation。 Listing the syndromes is a little meaningless here since David （who writes fluently and sensitively） is far better at describing their complexity in his easy to read chapters than any reviewer。 A theme emerges tho Using extended anecdotal case studies， Anthony David gives us insights into psychotic catatonia， depersonalisation disorder， terminal depression， hypomania， eating disorder， pervasive refusal disorder and conversion disorder。 These are all conditions that can end up in hospitalisation。 Listing the syndromes is a little meaningless here since David （who writes fluently and sensitively） is far better at describing their complexity in his easy to read chapters than any reviewer。 A theme emerges though - the individual's determination to be what something internal thinks they are。Whether the rational will wants what happens or not， something deep within the minds of his eight individuals （two are covered under conversion disorder） resulted in behaviours that may be self-destructive or limiting but which have their own rationale based on their own conditions of life。It seems to be David's job to understand that rationale and tease out what is a matter of bodily dysfunction （perhaps biochemical or neurological）， what is psychological and what arises from equally complex social conditions。What makes this a sometimes disturbing and often sad book a cut above other medical memoirs is David's own open-mindedness， his refusal to succumb to abstract theory， his evident deep respect for his patients and his honest admission of errors of judgement and failures。The impression one gets is that， in the world of neuropsychiatry， progress is generally possible but not certain and that there is no magic bullet。 In many cases， it is may be a case of triggering patients to press their own restart button。 In others， no solution seems to work。It is not a political book but David is sensitive to bureaucratic failures， to social problems， to the problems presented to people of different races to the dominant one and to the role of sexual abuse in triggering later mental cases。 He can show anger at the health system's failures。The book had a slight personal cast to me of 'there but for the grace of God'。 Having come from a thoroughly dysfunctional family， I had a 'mental crisis' of my own around the age of 19 and was 'saved' only by an exceptionally kind tutor and effective oversight at university。Three of the areas covered by David， I have actually experienced - extreme depersonalisation， suicidal depression and conversion - and the latter two were to extend in 'batches' for decades after， the depression lessening appreciably over time。In my case， there was no evidence of physiological issues and it was easy （more in hindsight than at the time） to see what happened as arising from a complex mix of possible genetic predisposition and personal issues with the way I had ended up in the world without adequate autonomy。My life has been the story of getting back on the right rail line after being sent down the wrong one with repeated wrong points decisions by the Fat Controller of existence from that point one。 I may be at the right station now with all my mental baggage intact but I've arrived rather late。 Even today， my body deals with crises largely by exhibiting an ailment which mimics something serious but never is （in fact， I am exceptionally healthy for my age） while depersonalisation has converted itself into a hard-edged detachment about the world that now rather suits me。This book reminded me just how bad things might have gotten if I had not both been who I am at core and been surrounded by people who cared who I was （albeit briefly initially） but also that progress is possible through a life。 My life now is an exceptionally good one。 There is hope。In some ways， my mental crisis 'made me'。 It gave me the tools not to repeat the mistakes of my birth culture with my own children。 I certainly recognised the experience of 'Caitlin' whose 'eating disorder' was an expression of herself in transition to happiness。 I felt closest to her perhaps。But the failures are equally interesting。 The most notable to me was the suicide of a man from a religious and culturally contained background who clearly had no desire to lose his religion but did so。 David will not speculate but loss of identity based on a sustaining culture can be devastating。His case was the opposite of mine。 I needed to get away from a culture in order to become autonomous。 This man （though one must not speculate） appeared to find the actuality of an unwelcome autonomy so terrifying that death was preferable。 Two brains wired up differently。 In my case， coming from a hard line Catholic family， my 'crisis' was triggered （though this was not the cause） definitively by a chapter in a book describing how Augustine took up the brutal repression of the Donatists （an obscure part of early church history）。 How odd you may say！What happened was， in effect， a terrible clash between the claims to goodness of the Church and its actual behaviours that expressed the tension between my own inherent atheist existentialism （it is who I am） and the rigid expectations of an abusive （I only later found out how much） family。Until that reading， I had had told to me what 'good' was and I knew something was wrong about that but I was never faced with something that undermined that claim so clearly as I was that day。 It was an accident waiting to happen。 Many other minds may be accidents waiting to happen。David's book has other examples of mental collapse being triggered by an 'incident' that reflects a dysfunctional reality to that person - most notably his case of pervasive refusal disorder （where a person effectively shuts down their body while the mind and even the will are intact）。The book is a light read but there is much to provoke thought。 It might help the wider public to understand the complexity of mental collapse and （as David emphasises） the way the body， mind and society interact to bring down humans as functionally effective creatures。He is not foolish enough to offer false hope but he does show a number of ways out of the impasse for healthcare professionals， individuals and their families， based （I believe） on the right balance of respect between individual autonomy and physical and mental techniques to trigger change。Some conditions are always going to be a matter of drugs and facing the reality of the brain being wired in a certain way or there being some neurological disorder or， of course， disease。 Those that are not may be amongst the most challenging for the psychiatrist， where science fails。The book might also be a thoughful read for the psychotherapy profession。 Their cases are 'neurotic' rather than 'psychotic' but I suspect that they could learn from some of the active triggering for transformation thar helps in some of David's cases。Having gone through the mill myself， I found psychotherapy palliative and initially useful but its detached techniques the worst possible way of dealing with detachment in the long run。 What was needed was the risk of triggering change through engagement。 I suspect psychotherapeutic detachment is the 'safe' option because 'triggering' change could go either way so they sit and sit and sit and we talk and talk and talk and the cash register goes ker-ching but the real changes take place outside the consulting room。This is not to argue against psychotherapy。 It meets a social need much as priests have done。 It is perhaps effective and comforting in most cases but it is slow。 time-expensive， ritualistic and the bulk of it cannot handle existential issues， especially if the client is brighter than the counsellor。 At some stage perhaps， psychotherapy has to move on from its twentieth century origins and risk-averse methods and start thinking about active engagement in diagnosis， referral， social conditions and speeding up the triggers for change by involving itself in value discussions。Perhaps alongside the parish priests of local psychotherapy， someone very bright and committed might listen to what the neuropsychiatrists are telling us （and the sociologists） and come up with a more dynamic equivalent for the tougher cases - a sort of Psycho-Jesuit Order。 But what do I know？ 。。。more
