I love Ronson - Adventures with Extremists was his best. I'll buy this one.
'...people in the middle getting overlabelled...' Oh yes. ADHD is the classic,
massively overdiagnosed and medicated. I see it as a kind of existential
crisis. People have a deep uneasiness about the meaninglessness of life, they
seek an answer in mental 'health' and are comforted by a label - 'Oh it's
alright, I have an illness.'
