Mark’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health

Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health by Thomas Insel MD

7 notes & 8 highlights

Our current approach is a disaster on many fronts. Not only is mental health care delivered ineffectively, but it is mostly accessed during a crisis and strategically focused only on relieving symptoms and not on helping people recover.
