Are mental disorders such as ADHD 'real'? Should we be using medication? Sami Timimi comes from a 'critical psychiatry' perspective which questions these fundamental assumptions in psychiatry.Dr Sami Timimi is a retired consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and author. A Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, he has been one of the UK’s most prominent voices in critical psychiatry, writing extensively on childhood, psychotherapy, psychiatric diagnosis, medicalisation, behavioural problems, and cross-cultural mental health. His books include Searching for Normal, Insane Medicine, Naughty Boys, and The Myth of Autism. His work challenges narrowly biomedical models of distress and argues for more contextual, relational, and culturally informed approaches to mental health care.This podcast is financially supported by the Human Ecology Group of the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine at the University of Zurich.
