New paper in #medicalanthropologyquarterly on how psychiatric metaphors are used to make suffering morally legible in the neoliberalized university. doi.org/10.1111/maq....
![A screenshot of a quote stating “Oh, I was also depressed, diagnosed by the psychiatrist was like “I think you're going through a major depressive episode, and I think you have clinical depression.” And I was like “That's great. I don't know what you want me to say to that but okay.” So, I don't know if it's depression, I don't know if it's how I really feel, and I don't know if it's hormones…And for me I had a hard time when she said [I had depression] because it's like I guess I don't like labels, I don't like having to be put into a box. ‘Cause it makes me feel like Oh now this is another thing I have to try to get out of and overcome when maybe I just need a little bit of support and extra help right now.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l2xvj46hsmbm77lst2zrbleg/bafkreigyq5v3ljsqydzg4b673sf5wa3hajzll2lhnnct7blzkylnly7tty)
