A Disorder For Everyone’ (AD4E) hosts events that challenge the dominant diagnostic culture in ‘mental health.’ This includes people with experiences of mental distress, professionals, academics, journalists, artists, politicians, authors, and many others. Put simply AD4E suggests that there are more helpful ways to understand emotional distress than seeing it as medical illnesses or disorder. AD4E asks not ‘What’s wrong with you?’ but ‘What happened to you?’ a question that encourages the framing of distress as an understandable reaction to trauma, adversity, or just the struggles we all face as human beings in a difficult world.
