DO NO HARM: A RECKONING FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

by William Banner Addis, RALPH WALDO

Do No A Reckoning for Mental Health Professionals is a searing indictment of the U.S. mental health industry and its transformation into a profit-driven machine that too often harms those it claims to heal. In six tightly argued sections, William Banner exposes how overdiagnosis, overmedication, and structural incentives trap especially young people in cycles of dependency, while the very act of recovery is discouraged. With clarity and moral urgency, this book challenges not only the system but also the professionals within it to confront an uncomfortable what has been normalized as “care” may, in fact, be a form of systemic harm. This is not just an essay—it is a call to conscience for doctors, nurses, therapists, and all who know in their bones that something has gone deeply wrong.

Well done...

Clear eyed look at the mental health industry and the obvious harm it has inflicted on society over time...If the Mental Health Treatment Industry were doing a good job, wouldn't we be seeing less mental patients? Is that the case? 🤔
