Unshackled: A Journey Through the History of Mental Health takes listeners on an immersive narrative through the fascinating, often unsettling, evolution of mental health treatment—from medieval superstition and asylums to modern understanding and compassion. Through vivid storytelling and deeply human portraits, this book uncovers the true stories of individuals who shaped—and were shaped by—the changing tides of mental healthcare. Meet Margery Kempe, whose visions blurred madness and sainthood, and Dorothea Dix, whose relentless advocacy transformed mental institutions forever. Discover the triumphs and tragedies of medical innovation, from pioneering doctors to patients whose lives were changed by groundbreaking treatments. Eye-opening, compassionate, and historically rich, Unshackled is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand humanity’s enduring struggle—and progress—in the pursuit of mental well-being.
