The author, Cathy Phillips, discusses how these labels impact young people diagnosed with mental illness (Mad), perceived as 'offenders' (Bad), victims of abuse and neglect (Sad), and the latest social issues (Fad). The text also covers the empowering or disempowering effects of these labels and how they shape perceptions and reactions towards young people.
