The Challenges (and Opportunities) That Come With Mental Health Diagnoses | Sarah Fay

This week’s conversation is with Sarah Fay, an award-winning author and mental health advocate working to improve how we think and talk about our mental health.

Sarah’s experience of being diagnosed with six different mental health disorders over the course of 30 years and finding no relief led her to write her best-selling journalistic memoir Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses.

As part of her continued devotion to changing the conversation around mental health, Sarah also founded Pathological: The Movement, a public awareness campaign dedicated to empowering people to make informed decisions about their mental health.  

In this conversation, Sarah opens up about how she came to inhabit her diagnoses, how we can improve the diagnosis process, and her inspiring journey to recovery.   

With almost one in five citizens (47.1 million people) in the U.S. alone having been diagnosed with a mental health condition, there’s no doubt that a majority of us have been touched by this issue – I hope this conversation gives you a new framework for navigating the complexities of mental health, and a deep knowing that no one is in it alone.
