Committed: Life Inside A Psychiatric Hospital
Manage episode 429472580 series 2784445
Long-term stays in psychiatric institutions were once a relatively common treatment in this country. They’re not anymore, but that doesn’t mean they’ve gone away entirely. Anita meets someone who spent three years living in a psychiatric hospital in the early 90s and talks with an activist whose time spent in contemporary psychiatric hospitals pushed them to fight for alternatives.
Meet the guests:
- Suzanne Scanlon spent three years living inside the New York State Psychiatric Institute in her early 20s and is the author of the memoir “Committed: On Meaning and Madwomen”
- Stefanie Lyn Kaufman-Mthimkulu is an organizer, healer and the founder and director of Project LETs
**If you or someone you know is in an emotional crisis, reach out to the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing or texting 988.**
Special thanks to Chanika Svetvilas and Laura Lopez-Aybar, who contributed to this episode.
