Independent Press Award: GAB TALKS with Maria Ingstrom
What happens when the one wearing the white coat suddenly finds herself lying restrained in a psychiatric ward? In “Restrained,” physician Maria Ingström shares her raw and unforgettable story of falling into psychosis, being subjected to coercive care, and finding her way back to life and medicine. With both the vulnerability of a patient and the authority of a doctor, she opens a window into a world too often silenced by stigma and shame. https://www.independentpressaward.com/thegabtalks/maria-ingstrom
Podcasts will be available at https://www.independentpressaward.com/thegabtalks or subscribe to SPOTIFY (or your favorite service) to listen to our author interviews, https://open.spotify.com/show/1Ek1K0qZPqj4XBKbfMlQJW
