What to do when the woman who raised you starts to act like an incapable infant? You turn to those who are supposed to know what is best. When a daughter is faced with the increasing state of confusion of her mother in the aftermath of her father's death, she seeks out the help of a psychiatric institution. What was supposed to be a two-week admission for observation turns into a year of suppression in a closed facility, a year in which she sees her mother's mental state decline week by week. With decreasing freedom and increasing medication, her mother becomes less than a shade of her former self. But when the daughter decides to take measures into her own hand and attempts to get her mother home again, this turns out not to be as simple as it would seem... Telling the true story of a woman fighting alleged experts for her mother's freedom, this book sheds light on daily occurrences and malpractices in psychiatric institutions.
