Interview with Susannah Cahalan for Audra Agen’s podcast, Women In The Arena

“After recovery, how did you deal with the idea of ‘losing your mind’?”

“How long did it take to feel yourself again?”

“How important was having an advocate after your completely uncharacteristic and frightening symptoms surfaced?”

These are some of the questions Susannah Cahalan, survivor of anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis and author of “Brain on Fire,” addressed in our interview.

I had the pleasure of joining Audra Agen a few months ago to interview Susannah Cahalan for Audra’s podcast, Women In The Arena.

We talked about PANDAS and PANS, Susannah’s second book, and her upcoming book! So much more!

I felt like we were sitting at my kitchen table — we could have talked for hours longer with this incredibly smart, insightful, inspirational, and yet down-to-earth mother of young twins.
