Description
This is a new book from the author of "Upstairs in the Crazy House", the critically acclaimed memoir of her own experiences as a mental health patient. Now, a decade on, she returns to the subject of mental illness, introducing us to psychiatric survivors, who, like herself, have managed to reconstruct their lives against all odds. As the survivors' stories unfold, Capponi offers her own informed and deeply humane critique of the Canadian mental health system, creating a portrait of mental illness, the people who live with it, and a treatment system in desperate need of reform.
