This book is a follow up to the author's autobiographical book in which she recounts her experience being misdiagnosed with a mental illness. I expected this book to be an objective book about a scientific psychiatric study, but there was no objectivity to be found. The author constantly brings up her own experiences. Constantly. This really ruined this book for me and I almost didn't bother finishing it.
