In 2004, at the age of 47, Evelyn Scogin had a successful career as a special education teacher. Then she found herself diagnosed with bipolar disorder and facing a life of endless drugs and electroshock. Rather than accept the diagnoses of the psychiatrist she began searching for alternatives. Eventually she found the real truth about psychiatric diagnoses and drugs. From her eight year search and fight back to emotional and physical health she found her voice of dissent and this book grew out that recovery. Evelyn's is an important voice of dissent in the current market of labeling and drugging. She brings to light the hidden side of the accepted norm of psychiatric treatment. She now speaks plainly and honestly about these issues and the truth that there are better alternatives to emotional health that the psychiatrists don't want you to know.
