Girl, Interrupted (116-154)

Summary
In this section of the book Susanna's therapist dies. She had a connection with her therapist that the book emphasizes by talking about some of their sessions together. Though out the rest of the book Susanna questions her insanity. At the end of the section she says she has recovered her mental health meaning that she isn't crazy anymore.

Quote
"I can honestly say that my misery has been transformed into common unhappiness, so by Freud's definition I have achieved mental health." (Kaysen 154)

Reaction
I honestly think that Susanna was never crazy to begin with. She even mentions in the book that what she was diagnosed as has been taken out of the books and replaced with common stages of adolescents. I believe that she was just growing up and experienced emotions and confusion that many teenagers today experience.
