Homo psihijatrikus

Kostić Milutin

Summary

Milutin Kostić: Homo psihijatrikus

The book Homo psychiatricus: Diagnosis as identity represents a psychiatrist's deeply personal journey through his own doubts. Analyzing the causes, consequences and ways in which psychiatric diagnoses become part of identity, the author takes us to the core of the paradox of the modern age - a society that talks more and more about mental health, but understands it less and less. Honest, insightful and disturbingly relevant, this book reveals how we become homo psychiatrists - beings who increasingly seek their essence in diagnosis. In his study, Dr. Milutin Kostić raises many sobering questions, from the moral foundation and place of psychiatry in the order of power to the institutionalization of knowledge to the problem of naming and labeling. The most important thing is that it considers to what extent a kind of "relativization flywheel", from which the phenomenon of "overdiagnosis" in psychiatry is born, and thus the increasing number of "disorders", which simultaneously mark and liberate us, contributes to the creation of a zeitgeist in which "disorder" is treated as a reason for success, and "mental illness" (which is always a testimony of "lack") becomes our identity.
