Description
A powerful and emotional story about mental health struggles, "Barking" by Lucy Sullivan explores the complexities of depression and grief. When Alix's friend passes away, she is institutionalized, but finds herself trapped in a psychiatric ward where her thoughts spiral out of control. As she navigates disinterested attendants, group therapy, and isolation, Alix must build a new equilibrium and confront the black dog of her depression. This thought-provoking tale sheds light on the problems that can overwhelm us all, and the failures in the mental health system we rely on. Inspired by the author's own struggles with mental health, "Barking" is a heart-wrenching portrayal of the human experience.
