Sarah Fay (Ph.D., M.A., M.F.A.) is a mental health advocate and the award-winning author of the journalistic memoir Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses (HarperCollins), which was an Apple Best Books pick and which The New York Times hailed as a “fiery manifesto of a memoir.” Parade Magazine recently named it one of the sixteen best mental health memoirs to read. Sarah has shared her story on NPR’s 1A, Oprah Daily, Salon, WGN Morning News, NPR’s KERA/Think, The Rumpus, and in The Los Angeles Times and Forbes Women. Pathological was featured in Forbes, mindbodygreen, Thrive Global, Lit Hub, Psychology Today, and more.
