Really good! Similar in a lot of ways to The Invisible Kingdom, and just generally in conversation with texts I’ve read and others I want to. Informative and well written.

I blazed through this collection of essays exploring mental illness (schizophrenia in particular). It so effectively fused factual information about the history, classification and stigma attached to the schizophrenias, with her own personal experiences with the condition and its subsequent management. While Wang doesn't gloss over how frightening and debilitating her condition is, she also challenges the common narratives around mental health and makes a case for patient-driven treatment and greater recognition of neurodiversity.

4.5 stars. A beautifully written book of essays abt what it's like to live with "the Schizophrenias". I like that the author has read and watched a bunch of the same things that I have.

In my mind, there is a line between myself and [those who are not "high-functioning"]; to others, that line is thin, or so negligible as to not be a line at all.
Reflective and chilling. Highly relatable. Painful. Excellent.
