I hesitated over starting this book at first. But as I tried to figure out exactly how I would formulate my thoughts, it began to seem more and more appealing. I like to think of myself as a semifunctioning adult one for whom leaving a keyboard smash as a review would never be an option. The good points just don’t out weigh the bad ones. That like a diabetic saying they’re just going to choose to start producing enough insulin. She also has Charlie call his reaction to his trauma cowardice, and has him have an epiphany at the end of the book that he can just choose a new way forward. There is already a huge stigma against seeking treatment for mental illness, i for one struggled for a long time before finally seeking help and it’s the attitude of people like this author that support that stigma. Instead she presents it as if the drugs themselves are making him worse rather than their misapplication. That he’s being “drugged.” It is obviously possible to misuse medication but the author doesn’t deal with that.
She talks about mediation like it’s damaging, something that is forced on Charlie.
