I tried reading this book twice but had to stop because of how emotional it made me. But now that I’ve finally finished it, I wish I read it sooner. It was incredibly informative and absolutely heartbreaking. Some individual patient stories were gutwrenching, so it’s best to take breaks as needed. Listen to your body with this one. Reflect, and be kind to yourself.

It was incredibly informative and empowering. A refreshing and well researched take on how we as a society manage mental health issues. Some of it was very slow and a little too clinical but I think the book's audience was intended to be those in the mental health field so that might just have been my issue.
