Sarah Fay: Unpacking the Complexities of Mental Health Diagnoses
“I think sometimes our conversation- the reason why it goes to pill shaming and big pharma is bad, which you know, that's a deserved reputation that they have- is that we're skipping the real problem, which is that dsm diagnoses are too easy to receive and are being given out too easily.”

In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Sarah Fay, an author and activist, to discuss her eye-opening book, *Pathological: A True Story of Six Misdiagnoses*.
