The Age of Diagnosis: How Our Obsession with Medical Labels Is Making Us Sicker
Is a diagnosis always a good thing? Is there an argument to be made that all of these diagnosis are making people feel worse . . . ?
Through deep research and interviews with leading medical experts, award-winning author and neurologist Suzanne O'Sullivan opens new possibilities on how we approach our health by asserting that what suffering patients need from doctors is neither endless diagnostic testing, nor uncritical affirmation of a patient's self-diagnosis, but rather they need evidence based treatment of existing symptoms and compassionate accompaniment.
“A book of great wisdom as well as compassion, The Age of Diagnosis is the result of decades working along the frontiers of brain, mind, and body." -- Gavin Francis, author of Advice in Human Being
