Mental health author, mental health activist, physician and psychotherapist Terry Lynch believes that the current biologically-dominated approach to depression is wrong. The major flaws in the current medically-dominated approach to depression need to be made available to the public. This will facilitate the full and proper reappraisal of depression that is so urgently necessary.
Depression Delusion Volume One: The Myth of the Brain Chemical Imbalance is an exposé of the widespread belief that imbalances of serotonin and other brain chemicals are known to occur in depression, and why this falsehood became so widely believed. Dr. Terry Lynch explains how this falsehood meets psychiatry’s own definition of a delusion and the central role of the medical profession in promoting and perpetuating this falsehood. This falsehood has seriously hampered the global search for greater understanding of depression, He describes a better way to understand depression. He describes psychiatry’s enormous vested interest in biological ideas such as brain chemical imbalances. He explains that known brain disorders are not diagnosed or treated by psychiatrists at all, but by neurologists and neurosurgeons. He warns of new delusional ideas being groomed to replace older ones, a practice that will continue as long as the public allow psychiatry’s continued and unquestioned dominance of global mental health.
