Up from the Snakepit
"Up from the Snakepit" is an insider's look at the mental health system as co-written by two men who explored it for years... both from a third person perspective of people who have had family be diagnosed as "crazy"... and then as two men who have experienced such mental health perceptions first hand.
They frankly discuss the realities of such a psychiatric diagnosis and how a label of mental illness doesn't affect the humanity of the good soul within. It's a lucid commentary about life before, during, and after psych ward stays with an eye on the prize of being a good and honest person who cares about truth, honor, and integrity.
It also discusses therapists, therapy, being prescribed various anti-psychotic medications, and becoming a ghost to the ghosts of past perceptions.
