Voluntary Madness: Lost and Found in the Mental Healthcare System by Norah Vincent
1.0
I bailed on this book at around page 75. The author had made up her mind about the mental health care system in this country before she began writing and her disdain came through loud and clear. I was interested in reading an unbiased account of being an inpatient on a psych floor.
In the few pages I did read, I did think a lot about the problems with our mental health care system. We haven't found the answer for those who need daily care to keep them safe and off the streets.
The one thought that kept screaming in my head from page one was, "insurance fraud!" I would love to know how the author managed this, or paid for it.
