Girl, interrupted

"Girl, interrupted" is an autobiographical autobiographic book written by

Susana Kaysen. 
The plot follows the experiences of the young woman in an American
american mental institution, in the 1960s of the young woman. After attempting to end
her life, Susana is sent to a therapist by her parents. The therapist sends the girl  to a
psychiatric hospital for "a break”, but she ends up spending one year in the institution,
after being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. The author talks about 
some of the fellow patients: Polly, Lisa, Daisy and more.
The plot doesn't follow a linear storyline, since the author tells personal stories
through short descriptions, as well as personal theories, such as comparing insanity to
an alternate world and the fact that people can’t imagine a parallel parralel universe
until they eventually slip into it and realise how thin the border between the two
dimensions is. This book is pretty similar to Sylvia Plath’s “The bell jar”. I think this
memoir displays a series of interesting concepts as well as unique experiences of the
author. 
I highly recommend reccomend this book because it can improve the ability to
empathize with the people around us, since we don’t know what they are going
through.
