Psychiatric Power

What happens when the people trusted to help you are also the ones controlling the drugs, diagnoses, and decisions that can determine your entire life? In this episode, I talk about the power imbalance between psychiatric patients and the people who treat them—from medication that can save your life or destroy it, to the dehumanizing treatment patients can receive from nurses and behavioral health staff. After 17 years on psychiatric medication, I’m finally on the right ones—and I have a lot to say about everything it took to get here.https://linktr.ee/[email protected]://x.com/maniccandice
