Description

A woman in her late thirties is diagnosed with her third episode of psychosis, amounting to schizophrenia. Her journey from home to a community house and then to hospital is marked by a struggle to question the diagnosis of her sanity or insanity. Sanya, the protagonist, finds herself torn between the medical model that defines her condition and her own doubts about its accuracy. Having studied psychology herself, she wonders if the treatment should be different. Her story is told in a deceptively calm first-person voice, using conversations as the primary narrative mode. Hospital is a novel that unflinchingly depicts the precarity of a woman living with psychosis and her struggles with the definition of sanity in our society.
