Publisher's summary

Treatment for anxiety all too often includes medication—but at what cost to the patient? After struggling with a lifetime of clinical anxiety, author and artist Lenny Gallo was confronted with the decision to try medication to help manage his symptoms. The medication did not work as expected and caused a misunderstood and often misdiagnosed movement disorder.

This book reflects his journey to find the answers that redirected the course of his life. Lenny’s artwork is intertwined throughout the story. His unique paintings chronicled his distress and provided insight into his world of suffering from a rare disorder with no answers available. This cautionary tale explores the author’s anxiety-ridden early life; the relationship between patients and doctors; mental health medications and their side effects; and examines the mental health profession from the perspective of both patient and practitioner.

Dramatically and beautifully told through witty and heartbreaking narrative, Unstill explores what it meant for the author to face his demons.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

courageous persistence

Regardless of your own struggles, movement disorder or otherwise, you can find new resolve in this book as Lenny Gallo shares his encouraging journey. Despite a roller coaster of complications and setbacks, there is a central theme of persistence, learning, transformation, and appreciation which carries us forward to emerge to new levels of understanding and acceptance. The careful cultivation of a support system and drive for solutions emerge as core strategies, as well as severing negative ties and putting things on hold when circumstances require. Highly recommended if you've been frustrated by challenges which blur the lines between your own emotions and mental health, and external influences affecting your ability to function. Bravo Lenny for finding the courage to share your journey, may it guide many towards the help they need.

You can't handle the truth

A raw and uninhibited self exposure through shadow work so deep you will find yourself connected to the story from beginning to end. An extremely fast listen as Lenny takes you through his never give up, relentless journey exposing the many inconsistencies and negligence of our medical system. In this deeply personal journey Lenny brings great light and hope to others by making the darkness a conscious entity where one learns that thru support, love and persistence - hope does exist.
