Long story short: if people were to live in a rural area and not living poor that it’s depressing, they wouldn’t be depressed. Turns out poverty makes people depressed.

I knew it.
I knew it.
In truth, people don’t need therapy, i can confidently say now: they need money.

Very readable guide to mental health issues and causes. Had to read this as a text for my psychology paper at uni, but it was not a slog like some of the other textbooks. Well written, and if you'd like a brief introduction to this subject it is a great place to start.

I can certainly see why only certain kinds of people say to me how great John Read is...

A Straight Talking Introduction to the Causes of Mental Health is an extremely biased research proposal that not only is pretentious but also extraordinarily un-psychological.
