In SNAP DIAGNOSIS, Charles Ead tells a powerful true story of misdiagnosis, injustice, and faith. In 1982, after returning from the Persian Gulf, a young MBA graduate's life takes a devastating turn when a psychiatrist hastily labels him as bipolar-without a physical exam or medical basis. What follows is a decades-long nightmare of forced institutionalization, dangerous medications, and repeated violations of his basic human rights.

Through heartbreak, physical suffering, and alienation, Ead's story becomes both a personal odyssey and an unflinching expos© of a mental health system gone wrong. Yet amid despair, he discovers an unexpected source of strength-his faith in God-and the perseverance to rebuild his life.

Part memoir, part social indictment, SNAP DIAGNOSIS shines a harsh light on the abuses of institutional psychiatry while celebrating the human capacity for survival, conscience, and redemption. It is a sobering reminder of how easily the truth can be silenced, and how courage and faith can restore it.
