Death Panel

CHAPTER

Protest, Mental Health, and Self-Determination

This chapter explores the intricate relationship between mental health, societal reactions to protest, and the stigmatization of self-immolation, particularly following a recent incident in Washington, D.C. It reflects on historical and contemporary perspectives of mental illness as a tool for delegitimizing dissent, emphasizing the need for reclaiming identity and narratives within psychiatric survivor movements. The discussion also critiques the interplay of mental health issues with colonial histories, race, and the impact of societal expectations on personal agency, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of resistance and wellness.
