This book, as well as the movie, absolutely changed my life. In 1967, at 18 years old, Susanna Kaysen was hospitalized for depression after attempting suicide. What follows is her 18 month stay in Boston's McLean Hospital, where she is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and eventually learns a lesson about herself that helps her break free from the grasp of her illness. Five stars.

It was like I had written this book in the early 90's. This is my story almost exactly. Different hospital, different location, but experiences were spot on. The movie had the look, feel and mood of the hospital. It was very accurate in ALL of it's depictions.
