Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness by Pete Earley

So I kind of abandoned this place again.   Rather than go backward, I'll just start again where I am now, with my two most recent reads.

Crazy was a frustrating read because the U.S. mental health system is so incredibly screwed up and so incredibly immoral in the way those with mental illness are treated. However, it was definitely interesting and I learned a lot (primarily that things are even worse than I realized). Definitely a heartbreaking read. Everyone should read this, and then maybe something would change.

The author has a blog of the same theme. The book is better than that blog, though :-)
