Dr Joanna Moncrieff - Psychiatrist & Professor of Critical & Social Psychiatry at University College London

Dr Joanna Moncrieff is a practising psychiatrist, author, and academic at University College London. As a founding member of the Critical Psychiatry Network, her work challenges the widely accepted "disease-centred" view of mental health, the idea that psychiatric drugs simply fix chemical imbalances. Instead, she advocates for a "drug-centred" approach to better understand how these medications actually alter the brain and behaviour. With decades of clinical experience across London, she aims to radically re-evaluate how society conceptualises and manages emotional distress.
