In 'The Invention of Mental Disorders,' Héctor González Pardo and Marino Pérez Álvarez critically explore the increase in diagnoses of mental disorders and the use of pharmacological therapies. The authors, experts in psychopharmacology and clinical psychology, propose a theory that questions the validity of considering mental disorders as diseases, arguing that the creation of these categories is influenced by commercial interests of the pharmaceutical industry and the complacency of professionals and patients. Instead of a rigid disease model, they advocate for a contextual view that prioritizes personal circumstances and active listening to the patient.
