Here’s what I discovered during my journey from crisis to recovery:


  • Why getting a second opinion (or tenth) can change everything
  • How medication literally saved my life (even though I was terrified to try it)
  • The shocking truth about what my “treatment-resistant” mental illness actually was
  • Why asking for help is one of the most courageous things you can do
  • How to give your support network the tools they need to actually help you
