Product details

"A Straight Talking Introduction to the Causes of Mental Health Problems" by John Reid and Pete Sanders explores the complex origins of mental health issues, emphasizing that they typically result from a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. The book challenges reductive explanations, asserting that mental distress is often rooted in life experiences such as trauma, loss, violence, childhood abuse, social injustices, poverty, and deprivation. It stresses that individuals' ability to cope with these stressors depends on numerous factors, making mental health issues highly personal and context-dependent.
