Annita Sawyer's memoir is a harrowing, heroic, and redeeming history of her battle with mental disorder, and her triumph in conquering it. In 1960, as a suicidal teen, Sawyer was institutionalized, misdiagnosed, and suffered through 89 electroshock treatments before being transferred, called "unimproved". The destruction done has haunted her life. Discharged in 1966, after finally obtaining proper psychiatric good care, Sawyer kept her past technique and shifted to graduate from Yale University or college, increase two children, and become a well known psychotherapist. That's, until 2001, when she assessed her hospital data and began to keep in mind a broken childhood and the even more destroyed mental health system of the 1950s and 1960s, Revisiting displays from her childhood and assembling the bits of a lost puzzle, her autobiography is a cautionary tale of careless psychiatric prognosis and treatment, both 50 years back and today. It really is an informative history about understanding PTSD and making mental sense of occasions that may lead a spirit to darkness. Primarily, it's a story of perseverance: pain, approval, healing, hope, and success. Hers is a unique voice for this generation, dropping light on an often misunderstood disorder.
