What if treating misery as a medical problem is making us miserable?
What if our intense distress is not a symptom of illness, but a desperate expression of our need for love and connection?
Someone dies by suicide every 40 seconds. Antidepressant use in the West has more than doubled in the last twenty years. And there is still no biological test which can diagnose any mental health problem.
So where are we going wrong?
In this revolutionary book, Rose Cartwright reveals how the failure of the mental health system to cure her OCD led her to radical action. While she explored her trauma through a series of mind-bending psychedelic trips, she began to interrogate our dominant medical paradigm.
Part radical manifesto, part revealing memoir, The Maps We Carry provides a new path to understanding and re-evaluating our approaches to mental health. This is a book is for everyone who has questioned why they are the way they are.
Rose Cartwright is a screenwriter whose memoir, Pure, about her life with intrusive sexual thoughts, was adapted for Channel 4. Her writing about psychedelics, consciousness and mental health has been published in The Face, Vice and the Guardian. Rose is a writer on the Netflix adaptation of Liu Cixin's The Three Body Problem.
