Routledge Recovery, Mental Health and Inequality Book

Explore the complex relationship between social inequality and mental health in the UK. This Routledge publication examines the specific challenges faced by Chinese ethnic minorities, a group often described as hard-to-reach and largely invisible in existing mental health literature. By focusing on the narratives of service users, the book provides a deep look at how recovery journeys are shaped by real-world circumstances. In the UK, mental health has often been a taboo subject, leading to the marginalization of essential services. This work goes further to address the neglect of issues unique to different ethnic minority groups. It examines how social factors such as class, ethnicity, and gender contribute to the distress and mental ill-health experienced by these individuals. This book is an essential resource for understanding the social determinants of health and the lived experiences of those navigating the mental health system.
