Mental health problems are the world’s number one public health issue. The UN states this categorically in three different reports. The reports also state that the psychiatric model is outdated and must be replaced. According to the UN, a paradigm shift is needed.
This is where Recovery comes in: Recovery means ‘to recover from mental problems and be able to live with them’. It is about us as people and the living conditions in which we find ourselves. Recovery is a rebellion against being perceived and treated as ‘ill’ and unreliable.
