Is a psychiatric diagnosis a lifeline or a self-fulfilling prophecy?

In this stunning debut—both a memoir and work of investigative journalism—bestselling author and former advisory editor at The Paris Review Sarah Fay chronicles her harrowing journey through six psychiatric diagnoses that began when she was just twelve years old.

Diagnosed with anorexia, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder over twenty-five years, Fay lived under the weight of each label—until finally, while in her forties and no longer able to live independently, she began to question the very system that defined her. With exquisite detail and wry honesty, she digs up her own life at the root to reveal the crippling impact of overidentification with psychiatric diagnoses, especially for young people.

Pathological is both a cautionary tale and a deeply researched exposé. Fay discovers that some of our most prominent psychiatrists have been warning us that psychiatry's diagnostic bible—the DSM—isn’t the scientific manual it’s touted to be.

Powerful, mesmerizing, and unputdownable, Pathological calls for a new conversation about mental health—one based on transparency and patient empowerment. It sits alongside the other brave and inspiring classics of our time that explore a more intelligent, forgiving, and nuanced approach to human suffering.
