She is intelligent, fearful, extremely anxious, and depressed. Her rage is poorly controlled and inappropriately expressed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDiagnostic Impression: Program for social recovery in a supportive and structured environment appears favorable.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eLife Inside\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In 1967, three months before her sixteenth birthday, Mindy Lewis was sent to a state psychiatric hospital by court order. She had been skipping school, smoking pot, and listening to too much Dylan. Her mother, at a loss for what else to do, decided that Mindy remain in state custody until she turned eighteen and became a legal, law-abiding, healthy adult. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLife Inside\u003c\/i\u003e is Mindy's story about her coming-of-age during those tumultuous years. In honest, unflinching prose, she paints a richly textured portrait of her stay on a psychiatric ward -- the close bonds and rivalries among adolescent patients, the politics and routines of institutional life, the extensive use of medication, and the prevalence of life-altering misdiagnoses. But this memoir also takes readers on a journey of recovery as Lewis describes her emergence into adulthood and her struggle to transcend the stigma of institutionalization. Bracingly told, and often terrifying in its truths, \u003ci\u003e Life Inside\u003c\/i\u003e is a life-affirming memoir that informs as it inspires.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50200351146257,"sku":"CIN0743411498A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50237519659281,"sku":"CIN0743411498G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52449853604113,"sku":"CIN0743411498VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0743411498.jpg?v=1750744591","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/life-inside-book-lewis-9780743411493","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
