Crazy isn't being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me amplified. If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever.

    The only way to stay sane is to go a little crazy.

       "Girl, Interrupted" is a Susanna Kaysen's memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers. This book is confession of her experiences as a young woman in a psychiatric hospital in the 1960s after being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. 

    There are two main groups of characters, the patients and the staff. Because fo Kaysen's words we can get to know them - the patients and the staff - learn a bit more about psychological problems and disorders. We can feel how is like to be in a prison of own mind, own demons, own fears. 

People ask, How did you get in there? What they really want to know is if they are likely to end up in there as well. I can't answer the real question. All I can tell them is, It's easy.
