| Abstract: | As Davis explains, what Rob imagined was "bringing him down" after his latest breakup was "something within himself yet not I of i himself" (Davis, [6], p. 148). Teaching an online course on mental health and the law during a global pandemic, the subject of psychiatric diagnosis and the pros and cons of diagnostic categories arose very early in the conversation. Davis's subjects imagine themselves to be chemically or functionally abnormal, often - whether stated or unstated - in an attempt to avoid the shame associated with what Davis calls "everyday suffering": rejection, failure, dissatisfaction. Shame is everywhere in Joseph Davis's new work I Chemically Imbalanced i , a fascinating and highly readable field report on how people who experience suffering interpret the cause of that suffering.
