Voluntary Madness: My Year Lost and Found in the Loony Bin by Norah Vincent
4.0
this book presents a look into america's mental health system and one that i'd like to see further investigated. vincent checks herself in three different mental health facilities and examines the differences in the people, doctors, and facilities. i would recommend this to anyone who is interested in psychology or psychiatry, as well as anyone who has ever dealt with their own mental illness.
the only real problem i had with the book is vincent mentions studies and texts about the problems of anti-depressants and i really wish she would have included citations for them because i'd like to read them!
