The topics like development of mental health care nicely described in the book "Reconceptualizing Mental Illness in the Digital Age" by Elliott B. Martin, Jr. The book also covers contemporary prob­lems in men­tal health, and social media.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Mental health has been strongly impacted by the overuse of digital technology, which has led to anxiety, depression, and isolation. It is great to read a book that is addressing them. Congratulations on BOTD!

Non fiction books are not my cup of tea but the book seems very educational explaining the reasons and conditions of mental illness and how it is influenced by the modern technological world. I'm sure the book will find its reader. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I’m really impressed by the author’s ability to connect mental health with the impact of social media and technology. It’s rare to find a book that combines psychiatric, historical, and philosophical perspectives so comprehensively. Definitely a must-read for those wanting a deeper understanding of mental health today.

This book guides readers through the development of mental health ideas. It seems to be a well-researched work and addresses the subjects from a psychiatric point of view. I find it important that it includes analysis of social media as a cause of inferiority and the formation of isolation. It sounds interesting despite the use of complex vocabulary.

Based on the review and the price of the book, I'm not going to be reading this anytime soon, even though the subject matter is appealing. Perhaps I may take a stab at it if it becomes more affordable.

This book is needed for many as mental health issues appear to have become more prevalent in the digital social media age. However, the book appears to be written more for the professionals than the everyday person with the complexity of the writing involved.

There is certainly a strong influence of social media and digital content on mental health leading to the problem of inferiority complex in teenagers and younger adults. This review brings the content of today's BOTD to light.

We still know so little about mental health. We have no idea how our brain really works. This book is a great attempt. Congratulations on the BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

Thank you for such a detailed review! It’s interesting how the book bridges mental health and digital technology, especially in today’s hyperconnected world. I can see how the combination of psychiatric and ancient language perspectives would offer a unique approach, though it’s a shame the dense writing style might be a barrier for some readers. It sounds like an insightful read for those willing to dive into its complexity!
