Susannah Cahalan, The Great Pretender

Susannah Cahalan experienced this firsthand, when her autoimmune encephalitis was misdiagnosed. The book she wrote about the experience, Brain on Fire, focused on her own story. Her new book, The Great Pretender, explores what practitioners don’t know about mental illness, and how it can hurt us.
