Surviving the Illusion of Therapy and Psychiatry

By Dr. Youssef Al-Hasani:

If you have an inner feeling that something in modern psychiatry is empty, distorted, and meaningless, and that the "chemical imbalance in the brain" theory has not convinced you that it is the real cause of your suffering, and that the doctors and psychotherapists you have encountered have not touched the essence of what you are going through... you are not alone.

Dr. Youssef Al-Hasani, as a doctor and therapist who personally experienced depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, speaks about the deep disappointment he felt towards the modern psychological establishment, which he describes as more commercial than humane, and that it has lost its way to true healing.
This book is the voice of your soul searching for understanding that it cannot find in clinics, and for meaning that transcends a cold diagnosis or a prescription.

Summary of the book "Escaping the Illusion of Treatment and Psychiatry"

Al-Hasani starts from a sincere personal experience to reconsider the established concepts within modern psychiatry.
He refutes the common hypothesis that psychological disorders are caused by a simple chemical imbalance, and believes that psychological pain is not a defect that needs to be fixed, but a message that needs to be understood.

Through profound language that blends science and experience, Dr. Youssef offers an alternative vision for healing, starting with awareness and self-acceptance and reconciliation with pain, not from resisting or suppressing it.
