Of Madness and Magic by Mischa Shoni
from Braden Storytelling Grant · host Mischa Shoni Rosenberg
What differentiates what is labeled as mental dysfunction—mania, psychosis, seizures—from what is magic, spirit, or simply … beyond the scientific method? Mischa Shoni embarks on a journey to understand her own brain. On the path, she meets dragons, gryphons, crystal-eyed snakes … and some extraordinary people who see the mind beyond the limited lens of psychiatry. This project was supported by a Braden Grant from Stanford Storytelling Project.
