"""A charged, earnest argument for relaxing the distinction between body and mind in the treatment of both.""--Kirkus Reviews ""Tweedy offers a moving reminder that no individual is merely ordinary and calls for more available and comprehensive mental health care.""--Booklist ""With both empathy and expertise, Damon Tweedy demonstrates why mental health cannot be siloed away from the rest of healthcare. Facing the Unseen is a rallying cry to reimagine how we care for patients, for centering mental health within ""regular"" medical care. A unified approach to care will not only address the urgent needs of patients, it will also help ease the burden on overstretched primary-care clinicians. Absolutely timely!""--Danielle Ofri, MD, PhD, author of When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error ""Brims with insight and rare empathy. Damon Tweedy has written an essential book for this time of national and global mental health crisis. Facing the Unseen reads like a good novel while offering a much-needed corrective to our current systems of medical training and healthcare.""--Louise Aronson, author of Elderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining Life ""Facing the Unseen is a coming of age story, a psychiatry primer, and a policy brief all rolled into one. Riveting case studies. Compelling, honest prose. A strong battle cry for a more holistic approach to mental health treatment. Dr. Tweedy is one of the most important voices in psychiatry today.""--Anna Lembke, MD, author of Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence"
