James Reilly on the ‘over-medicalisation’ of mental health

14 January - 8 mins
Podcast Series The Hard Shoulder Highlights

Yesterday, a discussion was had over the medicalisation of mental health.

This was after Tony Blair made a statement saying people are unable to cope with what he considers the everyday “ups and downs” of life, without a label or treatment for a mental condition. A sentiment shared by Brendan Kelly, who was on the show.

James Reilly, former Minister for Health and a practicing GP, joins Kieran to discuss why he disagrees with Tony Blair.
