Stories We Do Not Tell: Silence, Stigma and Mental Health

Some stories are hidden by shame. Some by fear. Some by love. Yet every one of them deserves to be heard.

Stories We Do Not Tell is a compassionate exploration of the lives behind mental health issues—where silence often hurts more than the diagnosis itself. Drawing on lived experience, interviews, and reflections, Geeta Lal Sahai gives voice to people living with depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, trauma, Alzheimer's disease, and other mental health challenges, as well as to the families who walk alongside them.

More than a collection of stories, this book is an invitation to listen differently. It examines caregiving, stigma, workplace discrimination, legal rights, healthcare, and the quiet resilience that unfolds every day.

Honest, deeply moving, and grounded in hope, Stories We Do Not Tell reminds us that behind every diagnosis lies a person who longs not to be fixed but to be understood.

Because when we change the way we listen, we change the way we heal.
