    Dr. Sami Timimi blows the whistle on the ADHD, Autism and mental health booms fuelling a billion-dollar global industry

    In this episode, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist and Clinical Psychologist Dr Ruth Schmidt Neven talks with Dr. Sami Timimi. Dr. Timimi is a UK based child and adolescent psychiatrist and psychotherapist who has been a longstanding critic of the medicalisation of childhood and the pathologising of the behaviour of children and adolescents through diagnostic categories such as ADHD. In his latest book Searching for Normal: A new approach to understanding mental health, distress and neurodiversity Dr. Timimi argues that most of what we’ve been told about mental health diagnoses simply is untrue and leads to harming our children, our culture and ourselves. Through his meticulous examination of the apparent ‘scientific’ underpinnings of diagnoses such as ADHD, Dr. Timimi conveys the truth of the lack of proper scientific evidence for this discrete condition amongst others. Dr. Timimi’s deeply humane approach exposes what he describes as the Mental Health Industrial Complex that turns human suffering into profit and the fuelling of a billion-dollar drug industry. Dr. Timimi asserts the rightful place of a developmentally informed, relational, meaning making approach that treats people – not diagnoses and that reclaims emotional life from biomedical and bureaucratic control.
