Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance

In Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance, Laura Delano delivers a poignant, provocative, and intensely personal narrative that challenges the conventions of modern psychiatric practice. Drawing from her own experiences within the mental health system, Delano paints a vivid picture of the limitations, contradictions, and, at times, the perils of contemporary psychiatric care. This memoir-manifesto hybrid is not merely a tale of one woman's escape from the clutches of overmedicalization but a broader call for a paradigm shift in the way mental health is conceptualized, diagnosed, and treated.
