Sarah Fay enters the mind meld!
Sarah is an award-winning author and mental health advocate working to improve how we think and talk about our mental health by moving the conversation away from simplistic diagnoses and toward a deeper understanding of our mental and emotional lives. Her personal experience of being diagnosed with six different mental health disorders and finding no relief led her to investigate the diagnoses we receive and to write her journalistic memoir Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses.
In this mind meld we riff on the chemical imbalance myth, the surprising healing power of uncertainty, the problem of psychological pathology, why the mind is not a break/fix piece of machinery, the power of routine, and more.
