25 unflinching stories and essays from the front lines of the radical mental health movementOvermedication, police brutality, electroconvulsive therapy, involuntary hospitalization, traumas that lead to intense altered states and suicidal thoughts: these are the struggles of those labeled mentally ill. While much has been written about the systemic problems of our mental-health care system, this book gives voice to those with personal experience of psychiatric miscare often excluded from the discussion, like people of color and LGBTQ+ communities. It is dedicated to finding working alternatives to the Mental Health Industrial Complex and shifting the conversation from mental illness to mental health.
