She sits down to read. But her thoughts bounce from putting on her sneakers to untangling a phone cord to putting on a sweatshirt. Her body stays in one place, while her mind jumps to a thousand unseen destinations.

Medication silences the chatter, and drops Sanne into ‘get-things-done’ mode, but at what cost?
