The mental health of black people in America, under the insane societal damnations of systemic injustice, is so under-researched, uncared for, and historically biased. Reading madness was insightful in a multitude of ways, with particular regard for the shift from institutionalization to incarceration as a means of controlling unbridled black disregard for these same unfair systems.

"Madness" by Antonia Hylton is a compelling exploration of mental health and societal perceptions of madness. Hylton, a skilled journalist, delves into the personal stories of individuals grappling with mental illness, weaving their narratives into a broader commentary on the stigma that surrounds mental health issues.
The book is structured around a series of poignant interviews, each revealing the complexities of living with mental illness. Hylton's empathetic approach allows readers to connect deeply with her subjects, understanding their struggles and triumphs. The author doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of mental health crises, but she also highlights moments of resilience and hope.
