Title: The loony-bin trip
Description: *The Loony-Bin Trip* is the gripping personal story of Kate Millett's struggle to regain control of her life after being diagnosed as manic-depressive. Through a searing circle of events beginning with Millett's decision to go off medication, and a summer of increasingly ominous doubts about her own sanity and the loyalty of her friends, to a hellish sojurn in an Irish mental hospital and a paralyzing bout of depression, Millett shows us from the inside what devastation the specter of madness can cause. Shockingly honest, *The Loony-Bin Trip* may revolutionize the way we think about mental illness.
