Higher education is facing a mental health crisis. Life of the Mind Interrupted guides us through it.

While calls for improved accessibility and inclusion in the workplace have gained momentum in recent years, for millions of people who are neurodivergent or struggle with their mental health, the quest for acceptance often happens in the shadows-if at all.

In this collection of deeply personal yet relatable essays, Dr. Katie Rose Pryal, a bipolar-autistic lawyer, professor, and speaker traces her own journey alongside that of other neurodivergent people in in higher education, and how they faced many challenges. It provides advice for everyone in higher education communities, on topics such as:

  • Quests for accommodations
  • Managing career fears
  • Coping with stigma
  • Nurturing allyship


As hopeful as it is revealing, Life of the Mind Interrupted is an essential addition to the conversation on inclusion of neurodiversity in the workplace and beyond.

"If you want to understand how higher education is built, and not built, for people with disabilities-especially mental health-related ones-Pryal's book is for you." -Book Riot

"Pryal writes with a refreshing and raw honesty. A must-read, not just for those in academia." -BookTrib Magazine
