Life Inside Also Charts The Authors Three Decades Of Posthospital Life, Describing The Challenge Of Entering Adulthood Bearing The Stigma Of Having Been Labeled Mentally Ill. Ironically, The Same Traits That Contributed To Lewiss Incarceration In The First Place Rebelliousness, The Need To Create, And Love For The Life Of The Mind Were The Very Things That Steered Her Onto A Path Of Healthy Independence. In Rejecting The Diagnosis And Prescriptions Imposed Upon Her By The Psychiatric Establishment, The Author Navigates A Course Toward Reclaiming The Other Life Inside The Inner Life. Inviting Us To Take A Close Look At Contemporary Views Of Mental Health Through The Lens Of Her Own Powerful And Intimately Rendered Story, Lewis Has Written An Important Memoir, As Tough And Candid As It Is Inspiring And Compassionate.
