The Pharmacology of Silence (2024)

A memoir of my experience of being misdiagnosed as mentally ill and locked inside a maximum security prison in 2022 due to medical malpractice and the side effects of anti-depressant medications.

Through my story, I delve into the experience of misdiagnosis and forced drugging, then confinement within a maximum-security prison, labelled a threat to the entire Sydney community.

This work invites you to critically examine the intersection of personal trauma and lived experience, and systemic indifference, welcoming readers to question the true nature of institutional assumptions.
