Joanne Greenberg, author of “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden,” who never had anti-psychotic medication, appears briefly in an anti-medication video.

She was diagnosed as having schizophrenia, but her treatment was in the early 1950s, before modern anti-psychotic medication was available, which was fortunate for her, because she was misdiagnosed.

I am providing a link to this video, not because of its straw-man argument, which I find annoying, but because, if you plan to read the book, you might like to see what the author looks like. She is the woman with white hair. She makes several brief appearances.

“Take These Broken Wings: Recovery from Schizophrenia Without Medication,” a documentary film by Daniel Mackler, 2014.
