Read by Heather Henderson.
Her medical record, from a month-long hospital stay of which she had no memory, showed psychosis, violence, and dangerous instability. Yet, only weeks earlier she had been a healthy, ambitious twenty-four-old. Susannah's astonishing memoir chronicles the swift path of her illness and the lucky, last-minute intervention led by one of the few doctors capable of saving her life.

interesting personal account submitted by 21621031390949 on July 1, 2017, 10:45pm Interesting, but also scary account of this woman's descent into madness, made worse by the medical profession and diagnostic errors. Was read very well.
