I don't tend to read graphic novels but this was part of my summer reading challenge and picked somewhat at random. It had a strange kind of power by being a graphic novel instead of a straight up memoir. I felt like she was able to express in a few pictures what words couldn't. Her story is complex and nuanced and I did wonder if a graphic novel could express it but I think it did. Gave me alot to think about. Sick day! Chest cold and laryngitis. Time to rest, read, and review. Rachel Lindsay offers a disturbing look into her involuntary commitment for mental illness in 2011. Despite working within the system by having a job that provided health insurance, seeing a psychiatrist, and taking her medications for her bipolar disorder, Lindsay is forced into hospitalization when her parents and doctors suspect her abrupt decision to quit her job and move out of state is a manic episode. The humor of her exaggerated cartoon style and narrative frankness offset some of the gloom as she outlines the many stressors that led up to the moment of crisis, her time in hospital, and the fallout.

"In her early twenties in New York City, diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Rachel Lindsay takes a job in advertising in order to secure healthcare coverage for her treatment. But work takes a strange turn when she suddenly finds herself on the other side of the curtain, developing ads for an antidepressant drug. Day after day, she sees her own suffering in the ads she helps to create, trapped in an endless cycle of treatment, insurance and medication. Overwhelmed by the stress of her professional life and the self-scrutiny it inspires, she begins to destabilize and finds herself hospitalized against her will. In the ward, stripped of the little control over her life she felt she had, she struggles in the midst of doctors, nurses, patients and endless rules to find a path out of the hospital and this cycle of treatment. This is the author's story of being treated for a mental illness as a commodity and the often unavoidable choice between sanity and happiness."--Page 4 of cover.
