This was a difficult one to read. I think if there is an audiobook version it might work better that way since it is written very much in the style that the author does comedy, so it can be very jarring with regular changes in font and abrupt asides.
Overall, it was interesting to read someone’s experience with mental health treatment, but it was made very obvious that it was from a privileged perspective. Some of the advice given was offensive at best and dangerous at worst (joining a cult, while on brand for the book is not a good idea for the majority).
