This book inaugurates the field of Mad Studies in the Indian subcontinent investigating the barriers to recovery from the perspective of patients and caregivers.

Offering a radical critique of the mental health system, it questions why the phenomenon of recovery from serious mental health issues is not more widespread. Drawing from narratives of patients, evidence from lived experiences around the globe and literature on recovery in psychiatry, mental health legislations and policies, it establishes the hitherto silenced voice of the patient as having testimonial viability, via an emancipatory scholarship. It highlights the repeated marginalization of patients and the identity prejudice they experience in day-to-day situations as a form of epistemic violence. The book examines the barriers to recovery through an interdisciplinary investigation, scrutinizing relationships between individuals and institutions at interpersonal, intersocial and global levels.
