Laura Delano is an American writer and consultant who is the founder of the Inner Compass Initiative, a nonprofit organization that helps patients understand their psychiatric diagnoses and drugs and to build community outside of the mental health system. Across her podcast appearances, Delano has discussed critical literature examining the pharmaceutical industry and psychiatric practices. On an episode of This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von, she examined the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association, highlighting its subjective nature and the extensive industry influence behind its creation. Furthermore, in conversations on both Theo Von's podcast and The Tucker Carlson Show, Delano recounted discovering Robert Whitaker's investigative book Anatomy of an Epidemic.
