This is one of those works that improve reader's empathy. A very important and well written work I recommend for anyone trying to better understand the impact of mental illness on a person's life. The essays seemed so intimate yet casual as if you were listening to a friend. As someone with a mental illness this book made me gasp as I saw myself in some of her essays. As a nurse this book made me realize how much work needs to be done to improve the care in psychiatry. I will forever rave about this book and push it into the hands of anyone and everyone.
Moderate: Rape and Medical trauma
