Simultaneous personal reflection and critical research, “Living with the Pharmakon: A Call for Futurity” can be found in Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience. In this perspectives essay, Hudson explores the tensions between the toxicity of psychoactive medications and lack of access to quality treatment and specialist nephrology care for people with, what has been defined by the medical community as, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. She questions what becomes of livability if the system of medicine creates harm in supposed remedy while refusing remedy and creating harm. She calls out the limits this contradiction places on the possibilities for life, and she is concerned with what kinds of futures materialize in living with the pharmakon.
