"Há algum problema se eu destruir completamente o seu gabinete?" é uma pergunta que Elyn Saks fez ao seu médico e não foi uma piada. Académica da área jurídica, em 2007 Saks tornou pública a sua história pessoal com esquizofrenia, controlada por medicamentos e terapia mas sempre presente. Nesta poderosa palestra, pede-nos para vermos as pessoas com doença mental com clareza, honestidade e compaixão.

Elyn Saks asks bold questions about how society treats people with mental illness. Full bio »
