Publisher's Summary
‘Rose Cartwright breaks all our old certainties and liberates us to approach our mental struggles with new humanity and creativity. The book cannot fail to interest anyone concerned with their mind’s bewildering beautiful complexities’ ALAIN DE BOTTON
'Radically open-minded. An extraordinary, paradigm-shifting work' NATHAN FILER
Featuring interviews with leading figures including Amanda Fielding, Michael Pollan and Gabor MatéWhat if treating misery as a medical problem is making us miserable?
What if our intense distress is not a symptom of illness, but a desperate expression of our need for love and connection?
Someone dies by suicide every 40 seconds. Antidepressant use in the West has more than doubled in the last twenty years. And there is still no biological test which can diagnose any mental health problem.
So where are we going wrong?
In this revolutionary book, Rose Cartwright reveals how the failure of the mental health system to cure her OCD led her to radical action. While she explored her trauma through a series of mind-bending psychedelic trips, she began to interrogate our dominant medical paradigm.
Part radical manifesto, part revealing memoir, The Maps We Carry provides a new path to understanding and re-evaluating our approaches to mental health. This is a book is for everyone who has questioned why they are the way they are.

A vital contribution to the urgent task of rethinking mental illness
It is rare for an insider to tell their story with such skill and authenticity. We need to completely rethink mental/emotional health/illness and learn to own our inner lives free from medical and other dogmas. This book contributes powerfully to the conversations we are having - or should be having.
