(Mis)Diagnosed: How Bias Distorts Our Perception of Mental Health by Jonathan Foiles
5.0
A decent short and sweet pop psych book that balances the reality of mental health and illness existing with the very real problems regarding it's weaponization, mishandling, misdiagnosis, stigma, systemic inequalities, etc in regards to oppressed peoples. Wish it was longer in my case. I knew a lot of stuff that was in here, but found it refreshing the way this author juggled so many things. This is definitely a book I'd hand to someone who might be newer to these topics. So many others either practically go full 'psychiatry is god' or 'mental illness doesn't exist.'
