Akathisia Stories, Episode11: Heather McCarthy

In this episode of Akathisia Stories, Heather McCarthy discusses the prescribed harm and akathisia-induced death of her son, Shea. A talented artist and musician, Shea was a college student at Purdue when he was prescribed an extremely large dose of the antibiotic Levaquin after a minor operation. He suffered Levaquin side effects to include anxiety, cardiac issues, and insomnia. However, doctors misdiagnosed these adverse effects as "bipolar disorder." Shea was then further harmed by Risperdal, Lamictal, and Ativan. Heather, who successfully fought to hold doctors accountable, discusses her family's avoidable loss and her advocacy efforts to ensure others are safer and better informed.
