Publisher Description
A young woman begins hearing a voice and enters a system that will spend years
trying to silence what it never once tried to understand. Schizophrenia has
been named, institutionalized, lobotomized, and medicated — but never
explained. Behind the diagnosis lies a 150-billion-dollar-a-year industry.
Behind that industry lies a question no one with a financial stake in the
answer has chosen to ask.
