Great News!

I hope you’re well!

Great news: On Friday, Substack Reads featured the serialization of

Cured: The Memoir

. I’m so grateful to

Substack Reads

and

Substack

for recognizing Cured and helping to bring the possibility of mental health recovery to everyone.

The premise of Cured is simple: We can fully heal from mental illness, even serious mental illness, and all psychiatric diagnoses.

Like many people, I didn’t know recovery was possible. Not once was the word mentioned during my twenty-five years in the mental health system. I ended up one of those “hopeless” cases—chronically suicidal, unable to live independently. But I recovered. Not remission. Full recovery.

Please share

Cured: The Memoir

and this post:

• Send it to journalists, so we can make more people aware of mental health recovery.

• Restack it in Notes.

• Share it on social media.

Cured is more than just my story; it includes the latest statistics on recovery, plus resources and tools everyone can use. I’ve made it available for free through 2023.

Let’s bring people help and hope—including the caregivers, parents, families, loved ones, and friends of those experiencing mental illness.

Thank you!

Sarah

Cured is the sequel to my journalistic memoir, Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses (HarperCollins), which The New York Times hailed as a “fiery manifesto of a memoir.”
