- Mind the science : saving your mental health from the wellness industry / by Stea, Jonathan N.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A clinical psychologist who regularly deals with some of society's most vulnerable exposes and debunks the predatory pseudoscience and grift of the multi-trillion-dollar wellness industry and points us towards a better way to take care of our mental health. Can the unbroken gaze of a lone man on a stage in front of hundreds of people truly alleviate their mental distress? Can Berlin Wall pills or a coffee enema cure depression? Can we improve our mental health with past-life regression therapy, cold-water shock therapy, rebirthing therapy ... try none of the above. Wellness grifters and alternative-health snake oil salesmen are everywhere these days, and when our medical systems are under stress (and we are, too!) these costly purveyors of false hope are worse than a waste of money, they can lead us to delay badly needed care from real professionals, exacerbate our conditions and, in the most tragic of cases, even kill us. Today, people looking to care for their mental health face a market with at least 600 "brands" of psychotherapy-and counting. Most are invalid, and many could be harmful. There exist countless unregulated providers of mental-health services in the $4.5 trillion USD wellness industry and alternative medicine community who market themselves as "life coaches," "wellness consultants," and-depending on particular countries and jurisdictions-other various non-legally-protected titles, such as "therapists," "psychotherapists," "counselors," and "practitioners." Looking to exploit people's financial and emotional vulnerabilities, anyone can call themselves a "therapist" without a license. The world of mental healthcare is very much caveat emptor: buyer beware. Having seen so many of his patients hurt by the pseudoscience circulating in the industry, Dr. Jonathan N. Stea is on a mission to expose its harm and protect the public from pseudoscientific mental-health misinformation. In a landscape of rampant burnout and at a time when mental health concerns are at a fever pitch, Mind the Science provides hope and real information to those who have been touched by mental illness, have been misled by false marketing, or are simply curious about the relationship between science and mental health."--- Subjects: Communication in medicine.; Electronic information resource literacy.; Mental health education.; Mental health;

- Everything Is Tuberculosis [electronic resource] : The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection / by Green, Johnaut; CloudLibrary;
Instant #1 New York Times bestseller! • #1 Washington Post bestseller! • #1 Indie Bestseller! • USA Today Bestseller! John Green, award-winning author and passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world’s deadliest infectious disease. “The real magic of Green’s writing is the deeply considerate, human touch that goes into every word.” –The Associated Press “This highly readable call to action could not be more timely.” –Kirkus, starred review “Earnest and empathetic.” –The New York Times Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world—and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.General adult.Electronic reproduction.Online resource; title from digital title page (CloudLibrary, viewed April 12, 2025).- Subjects: Electronic books.; Infectious Diseases; MEDICAL; History; SCIENCE; SOCIAL SCIENCE;
