New Statesman
A wonderful, moving and truly life-changing book. <i>Sedated</i> is an urgent intervention for post-pandemic society, written with expertise and clarity. Warning: it will cause irritation to powerful interests who fear us all becoming better informed about the root causes of so much human suffering.
Baroness Shami Chakrabarti, former Director of Liberty
James Davies is one of the most important voices on mental health in the world. This is a beautiful and deeply sane book. Everyone who's suffering - and wants to know how to make it stop - should read it right away.
Johann Hari, author of Lost Connections
An intelligent and powerfully argued book... a rich seam of empathy runs through Davies's narrative.
The Herald
Essential and Enlightening... Davies shows how we can re-connect our personal troubles to our political contexts, and in doing so, find better ways forward
Lucy Johnstone, consultant clinical psychologist
In this game-changing polemic, James Davies leaves us in no doubt: to tackle the mental health crisis we need major social and economic reform.
Nathan Filer, author of This Book will Change Your Mind about Mental Health
A marvellous book. Critics of traditional psychiatry will relish its clear-sighted exposure of a failing system. Defenders of traditional psychiatry may well be infuriated. But everyone should read it.
Peter Kinderman, professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Liverpool
