This book focuses on the paradoxical effect on mental health of social crises. When crises occur, there's an upsurge of mental suffering due to an intensification of such social insanities as violence, inequality, and insecurity. Paradoxically, there are positive consequences due to acts of kindness, cooperation, and the ability to cope and hope.

This book critiques the connection between Western society and madness, scrutinizing if and how societal insanity affects the cause, construction, and consequence of madness.

Offers students and health practitioners with the foundations of a sociological understanding of health issues. This book covers sociology, health, science, power, medicalisation, madness happiness, sex, violence and death.
