Trusting the System Doesn't Make You Weak | Ellen Lubensky
from The Honest Mic Hosted by Fortune
Ellen Lubensky is a Stanford-educated attorney who practiced Social Security Disability and medical malpractice law. She spent 20 years physically disabled by tardive dystonia caused by psychiatric medications. The very medications meant to help her caused the harm. That's not a story. That's a betrayal. Today, Ellen speaks publicly about psychiatric medication harm, withdrawal, and the legal and ethical issues surrounding informed consent. In this episode of The Honest Mic, Ellen talks about what true informed consent looks like, what it felt like to realize the medications were causing the harm, and what she'd say to someone still inside the system. If you've ever trusted a system that let you down, this conversation is for you.
