Letter: A sick environment

Published 18 March 2008

From Meghann Mears

David Nettle says that “for almost any personality profile, there is an optimum environment” (9 February, p 36). This has major implications for how we interpret and act on recent increases of so-called psychological “disorders”. Will we continue to medicate, or will we prove able to reconstruct a social and living environment that does not turn our natural personalities into disorders?
