Lloyd Journey struggle with mental illness. After his 30th birthday, his father admitted him into Mental Health Hospital to be treated. During the late 1800s and early 1900s mental illness was new you were labeled imbecile. He passed away from complications of insulin shock therapy. Mental illness came a long way but still is an infancy stage. It was hard to diagnose and treat people back then and understand what they're going through. People with mental illness are being treated badly and some are being taken care of. The things that mental illness, some psychiatrists are learning the development of the human brain and the causes. Some can be hereditary passed down from generation or a life event. Going into the book was amazing. The book start off well and strong but I was confused when I thought the story was going to be about Lloyd. The bulk of the book was about his dad and the history of mental illness. The book is an easy read and will have you suck in all the way.
