Description

Amy Bingaman's diary chronicles her 33 days in the Wyoming Mental Health System, a harrowing account of her struggles with mental illness and the inadequate care she received. With only a pocket dictionary and scraps of paper to write on, Amy documented her experiences, detailing both the cruel treatment she suffered at the hands of staff and the resilience of fellow patients. Her diaries are a raw and unflinching portrayal of life in a system that often fails its most vulnerable members. The result is a powerful and thought-provoking account that shines a light on the darkest corners of mental health care in America.
