I read something a while back about there being no concept of certain mental illnesses in Japan until American pharmaceutical companies set their sights on the Japanese market and watching The Trap (Adam Curtis) recently there was a fair bit on the DSM resulting in a number of people believing they were mentally ill and medicalising uncomfortable, but normal feelings and experiences.
Anyone have particularly strong feelings either way on this sort of thing, anti-psychiatry etc?
