I'm always fascinated by writing about mental illness and although I wasn't familiar with Rachel Aviv's work for "The New Yorker," I've quickly become a fan of hers. This book followed several different individuals who have struggled with mental illness and various diagnoses (including anorexia, bipolar, major depression, etc.) and their experiences trying to get help and trying to heal. Aviv did an insane amount of research that made this a deeply detailed and moving testament to the strength of these people who have suffered so much. Aviv including her own personal story also made this a book go above and beyond what a typical journalist would include along with facts and data. This was a cohesive, well-structured book that I feel grateful to have read. Getting insight into someone's raw, honest struggle is always a privilege.
