A compelling read for those exploring mental health treatment's darker aspects, as praised by Anna Lembke, MD, author of 'Dopamine Nation'. 'Unshrunk' is a heart-wrenching tale that empowers many, according to Johann Hari, author of 'Stolen Focus'. It chronicles one woman's journey through psychiatric diagnoses, medications, and ultimately, discovering her true self beyond the mental health industry.

Despite acceptance and adherence to treatment, her condition worsened, leading her to question the role of the American mental health and pharmaceutical industries in shaping human identity.
