A new perspective from neuropsychiatrist Dr. Alastair Santhouse challenges readers to consider whether mental health awareness is veering into over-diagnosis. In his book No More Normal: Mental Health in an Age of Overdiagnosis, he argues that while raising awareness is vital, it may also prompt more people to identify with symptoms that do not meet clinical criteria. For Thai audiences, this global discussion has meaningful local implications for how mental health is understood and treated.
