Mad in America: Rethinking Mental Health · Anthropology, Arctic Iceland and Antidepressant Withdrawal: A Conversation With Fiona Frenzen · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

Welcome to the Mad in America podcast.

My name is Brooke Seem, and I am the author of the award-winning memoir on antidepressant withdrawal may cause side effects.

This series is a little different as I am interviewing folks who have been through psychiatric drug withdrawal and have come out on the other side in either an interesting or inspiring or both way.

And I am here today with Fiona.

Friends in, and I'm so excited to talk to her about this because she and I have been communicating over Instagram for a number of years now.

And I have been very interested in and not only her journey in the world, physically where she is and how she ended up there, but also there has been

an awareness and an intellectual approach to your withdrawal that I've found to be very refreshing and interesting.

And so I'm hoping to talk a little bit about that as well as where you are in your journey now.

I will start with a little bit of a biography, which is super interesting.

So, born in Germany and raised in Denmark, Fiona is a qualified teacher with a master's degree in anthropology.

For years, she had a dream about living in Iceland.

The raw nature had a grounding and healing effect on her.

But due to her mental health challenges and severe withdrawal syndrome, this dream seemed very unrealistic.
