Adderall and Other False Prophets - Paperback

by Asher Lockwood (Author)

He healed minds for a living-until he lost control of his own.

In Adderall and Other False Prophets, Asher Lockwood delivers a raw, brutally honest memoir about the double life of a psychiatric nurse practitioner and CEO, Yale-trained whose world crumbled under Adderall addiction, bipolar disorder, and a toxic marriage.

By day, Lockwood was the go-to clinician for high-powered CEOs, TV personalities, and first responders. By night, he was spiraling-self-medicating, battling mental illness, and clinging to the illusion of control. When his marriage imploded and the courts tore him from his children, he faced the ultimate test: survive or disappear.

From rehab to courtrooms, psychiatric wards to jail cells, Lockwood pulls no punches in describing the cost of denial-and the slow, painful climb back toward stability. With dark humor, searing self-awareness, and unflinching candor, he reveals the messy, nonlinear path to recovery and self-redemption.

If you've ever struggled with addiction, mental illness, or the wreckage of toxic relationships, this book will speak to your soul.

Perfect for fans of Educated by Tara Westover, Dry by Augusten Burroughs, and Lit by Mary Karr, Adderall and Other False Prophets is more than a memoir-it's proof that even from ashes, we can rise.
