About We’ve Been Too Patient
The book is an anthology of creative non-fiction, poetry and research-based analysis on mental health advocacy. It gives voice to those with personal experience of psychiatric miscare often excluded from the discussion like people of color and LGBTQ+ communities. It is dedicated to finding working alternatives to the “Mental Health Industrial Complex” and shifting the conversation from mental illness to mental health.
