**THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**
Most of the psychiatric cases in this book are Benji’s patients. Some of them are his family. One of them is him.

Unlocking the doors to the psych ward, NHS psychiatrist Dr Benji Waterhouse provides a fly-on-the-padded-wall account of medicine’s most mysterious and controversial speciality.

Why would anyone in their right mind choose to be a psychiatrist? Are the solutions to people’s messy lives really within medical school textbooks? And how can vulnerable patients receive the care they need when psychiatry lacks staff, hospital beds and any actual cures?

This is an eye-opening medical memoir – from both sides of the doctor’s desk. The perfect read for fans of This Is Going to Hurt, Unnatural Causes and The Prison Doctor.


A humane, hilarious and heart-breaking window into the world of psychiatry from ‘the Adam Kay of mental healthcare’ (THE TIMES)

‘This is honestly my dream book… Fascinating’ FERN BRADY
‘Fearlessly honest, funny and uplifting’ JO BRAND

‘Very funny and deeply sympathetic. Really excellent’ HENRY MARSH

Witty and not too gritty. A funny ride through the ridiculousness of being human, with some blurred lines between doctor and patient. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Funny and a little dark

Much like This is Going to Hurt, this harrowing tale of another side of the NHS (and the front-liners trying to hold it together) made me laugh and cry. Great narration and story flow through all the lives we are introduced to.

Loved it!

Lamentablemente la lectura fue muy monótona yo qué significó tedioso como auditora. El texto es muy básico
