Laura, in this inspiring and encouraging talk about insanity and being crazy, shares a new vision of psychiatry which blurs the lines of diagnosis, revealing the person behind it, and advocating the substitution of medical treatment with humanistic treatment. A new vision of insanity that today imagines an entire revolution.

Psychiatrist and founding member of the Delirious Revolution. In 2011, she founded, along with other professional colleagues, the Delirious Revolution, a movement by young professionals in the mental health field. They embarked on the task of bringing together insanity and society, and under these principles, they coordinate the Community Intervention Center for pyschiatric service at the Rio Hortega Hospital in Valladolid since January 2013. A pilot project that hopes to accomplish innovative work for people diagnosed with serious mental health issues.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.
