Brooke Siem Biography

Brooke Siem was among the first generation of teens to be medicated with antidepressants. After spending half her life—and her entire adult life—on antidepressants, she wondered: Who might I be without them?

Six years after taking her last antidepressant and now fully healed from what was once assumed to be lifelong depression, Siem’s mission is to share the story of what happened after she booked a one-way ticket to Malaysia and got off all the psychiatric drugs.

Unfurled against a global backdrop and her work as an award-winning chef, Siem’s story chronicles explosive and terrifying antidepressant withdrawal and the fight to manage the modern mental health system, all while demanding hope and forgiveness in the name of healing.
