Brave, honest, exposing - a rare window into the most vulnerable moments of psychosis. Definitely a must read for anyone working in mental health in particular, to remember the system that once did (and sometimes still does) tremendous amounts of harm. Elyn Saks is a testament to the human spirit.

Saks’ account of living with schizophrenia highlights the importance of autonomy in the treatment of mental illness; a thought-provoking read and an important perspective that warrants further discussion within the medical community.
