Description
Mount Misery is a psychiatric hospital that's home to some of the most troubled minds in the country. For Dr Roy Basch, starting his residency there, it's a bewildering and nightmarish experience.
The doctors at Mount Misery seem more interested in maintaining the status quo than actually helping their patients. As Basch delves deeper into the system, he discovers that the true purpose of treatment has less to do with healing and more to do with keeping insurance companies happy.
Basch's journey is a darkly comedic exploration of the absurdities of modern psychiatry. With biting irony and a keen eye for the human condition, Mount Misery offers a searing critique of a system that often seems more interested in preserving itself than in helping those who need it most.
