Millions of Americans live with mental illness every day. Sarah Fawn Montgomery is a poet and author who explores the stigmas and biases associated with mental illness—both historically and today.

Her book, Quite Mad: An American Pharma Memoir details Montgomery’s personal experience in coping with the challenges that come with mental illness.  In her experience, care proved to be a trial and error process with medications sometimes doing more harm than good.  But in the end, she sees in her own story, “a beacon of hope and truth for the individuals living with mental illness.”
