Psychologist Hal Arkowitz has spent decades studying the murky line between fact and fiction in mental health. In "Facts and Fictions in Mental Health," he pulls back the curtain on common misconceptions, separating science from pseudoscience to reveal what we really know - and what we don't - about the workings of the human mind. From the surprising truth about antidepressants to the alarming spread of untested alternative therapies, Arkowitz confronts the challenges and complexities of an industry rife with controversy, deftly navigating the debates that have profound impacts on millions of lives.
