Excellent, timely book from @gavinfranc on how we meet, or fail to meet, the deep mental health crisis. The current approach fails to take sufficient account of cultural and social factors & discriminates in favour of those who can access primary care and community support
GP and bestselling author @gavinfranc returns with a deeply human and compassionate re-evaluation of mental illness.
#TheUnfragileMind publishes February 2026, in partnership with @ExploreWellcome ✨

This is superb. Reading it now. A rich, detailed and powerful portrait of the poverty, grind and struggle of working people in 19th-century south London. Chaplin is the hook but there's so much more here. Out this week from @ProfileBooks.
