An increasing number of people are being diagnosed with ADHD and autism.
An increasing number of people are being diagnosed with mental disorders.
Young people are being medicalized for behaviors that might be interpreted as completely normal in other parts of the world.
Distress has been commodified for decades by pharmaceutical companies, the media, and the psychiatric establishment.
So how can we know when distress is normal and when it is something that needs treatment?
In Searching for the Normal, Dr. Sami Tamimi explores the politics of this approach, which does not take into account the cultural context of these phenomena, but instead offers a deeply humanistic approach that looks at the person as a whole—their family context, their culture, and their personal resilience—and calls for a reframing of how we think about and address distress.
