O'Sullivan, Suzanne2026
Books
From autism to allergies, ADHD to long Covid, more people are being labelled with medical conditions than ever before. But can a diagnosis do us more harm than good? An accurate diagnosis can bring greater understanding and of course improved treatment. But many diagnoses aren't as definitive as we think. In some cases they risk turning healthy people into patients. Drawing on the stories of real people, as well as decades of clinical practice and the latest medical research, Dr Suzanne O'Sullivan overturns long held assumptions and reframes how we think about health.
