July Stolen Lives Recovery Support Group with Guest Speaker: Dr Cathy Wield

This is a monthly meeting where guest speakers will share their recovery stories from psychiatric drugs, followed by a Q&A and discussion.

July's guest speaker is: Dr Cathy Wield

Dr Cathy Wield, former Emergency Medicine specialist and author of "Unshackled Mind", shares her powerful story of recovery after nearly 25 years within the psychiatric system. Diagnosed with “treatment resistant depression”, she was prescribed 35 psychotropic drugs, underwent over 100 ECT sessions, and even psychosurgery.

Despite this, she found her way back to a meaningful life. Now a speaker and NHS patient safety partner, Cathy raises awareness of the potential harms of psychiatric treatments while offering hope that recovery is possible, and that there are alternative paths to healing.

Join us to hear her story.

Cost: £10 donation to Antidepressant Risks to help the running of these support groups
