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":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44300703269119,"sku":"9780743411509","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780743411509_s600x595.jpg?v=1776100444","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780743411509","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
