THE MUST-READ BESTSELLER AND BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE GUARDIAN, SUNDAY TIMES, FINANCIAL TIMES, ECONOMIST, NEW SCIENTIST AND MORE
'Revelatory. Slices through the contradictions.' - CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN
'So well-written... critically important.' - RANGAN CHATTERJEE
'A doctor's brilliant study of the dangers of overdiagnosis' - GUARDIAN
From autism to allergies, ADHD to long Covid, more people are being labelled with medical conditions than ever before. But can a diagnosis do us more harm than good?
The boundaries between sickness and health are being redrawn.
Mental health categories are shifting and expanding all the time, radically altering what we consider to be 'normal'. Genetic tests can now detect pathologies decades before people experience symptoms, and sometimes before they're even born. And increased health screening draws more and more people into believing they are unwell.
An accurate diagnosis can bring greater understanding and of course improved treatment. But many diagnoses aren't as definitive as we think. And in some cases they risk turning healthy people into patients.
Drawing on the stories of real people, as well as decades of clinical practice and the latest medical research, Dr Suzanne O'Sullivan overturns long held assumptions and transforms how we think about illness and health.
'Compassionate and bracingly independent thinking' - THE TIMES
'Exceptional. Chapter by brilliant chapter, it raises fundamental questions we should all be asking.' - NEW STATESMAN
*As heard on Radio 4 Book of the Week, Today, Good Morning Britain, Sky News and more.*
