Elyn Saks: A tale of mental illness — from the inside – TED.com

” ‘Is it okay if I totally trash your office?’ It’s a question Elyn Saks once asked her doctor, and it wasn’t a joke. A legal scholar, in 2007 Saks came forward with her own story of schizophrenia, controlled by drugs and therapy but ever-present. In this powerful talk, she asks us to see people with mental illness clearly, honestly and compassionately.”
