Dr. Patricia Casey, professor emeritus of psychiatry at University College Dublin and author of 14 books, joins Richard Taite to question how modern psychiatry defines and treats mental health.Dr. Casey explains why grief, stress and sadness are often healthy responses rather than illnesses, what adjustment disorder really is and why it's so often misdiagnosed, why checkbox screening tools can be misused, and how she decides when medication is appropriate and when therapy or a ”wait and see” approach comes first. They also discuss trauma and substance misuse, the role of insight and acceptance in recovery, and why listening to music has always helped her through difficult times.
