Description
Hardcover, 256 pages, published 2022. This memoir recounts the author's experience with antidepressant withdrawal and her journey to rebuild her life. Diagnosed as a teenager, Brooke Siem was prescribed medication that became a defining aspect of her identity for over fifteen years. As she struggled with feelings of brokenness, she began to question whether she would be the same person without the medication. After a decade and a half on the same cocktail of drugs, Brooke faced a profound choice that plunged her into a year of excruciating withdrawal. Her story is an honest reminder that healing begins at the bottomless depth of our suffering, in the deep self-work that pushes us to the edges of who we are.
