Well written like all O’Sullivan’s books but while coming from a good place I find the approach paternalistic. Yes, nocebo is a fact, but most people need a diagnosis to get government support. People also want to understand what’s behind troubling symptoms and a diagnosis may reduce their anxiety. Ultimately I am not sure what the book tries to achieve.
