W hen I first decided to seek help from a doctor, I had no idea what I was getting myself into or how difficult it would later be to break free from the cocktail of medications. At the back of my mind, I believed antidepressants would stabilize my disturbed nervous system. At that time (and unfortunately still in Poland), psychiatry held the belief that people with personality disorders had a dysregulated hormonal balance, which, as a budding neuroscientist, made a lot of sense to me.

Part of me was searching to see if the result, and its implications for myself and my daughters as women of color, was all really true. Another part was looking for community, to validate that I was not alone in my despair, my deep shock that most of our country had chosen hate and chaos rather than humanity.

I n the critical psychiatry community, we tend to draw a stark line between drug treatment and psychotherapy, with the latter often being promoted as a safer and more holistic alternative, getting at the root cause of our distress rather than just covering up symptoms. Unfortunately, this comes with a tendency to forget that therapy too has strong roots in the biomedical model, and it‘s that framework in which practitioners are trained.

As Buddha wisely stated , “All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts.” Simply put, the mind gives rise to thoughts, thoughts give rise to actions, and actions define who you are and how you engage with the world.
