She has seen many positive changes in how we approach mental health – and yet she is increasingly troubled by the state of our health services.

She shows us how the progress made in a more optimistic era of psychiatry is fast being eroded; how our struggling healthcare system often fails those who need our support; and how crucial it is in today’s uncertain world that we do not turn away.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Candid, compassionate and, above all, hopeful, \u003ci\u003eOn the Brink\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of troubled minds and how we try to heal them.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46581749940382,"sku":"HPC-9781783967001","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781783967001.jpg?v=1772679202","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781783967001","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
