+) In the chapter titled "Nineteen Sixty-Eight," the last line states, "We looked at him, a tiny dark man in chains on our TV screen with the one thing we would always lack: credibility." (Kaysen, 93) What identity are they applying the word credibility to? Race? Mental soundness? Have we seen the credibility of a patient questioned before? Discuss.
+) At the end of the book, there are records of Susanna's "outcome with regard to mental disorder" box was listed as "cured." (Kaysen, 169) What does "cured" mean? Is it applied differently to different people with the same mental illness?

+. I found it interesting that Kaysen didn't really talk about the treatments that they all went through or their effects like in the other narratives that we read for Tuesday. What kinds of treatments were common for people with borderline personality disorder? She said that there was a hydrotherapy room, but never mentioned going to it. Were they relying more on drugs and talk therapy for treatment?
+. Kaysen seemed to have a lot of freedom at the hospital since she needed little supervision and talked about how she could go to her boyfriend's house and had a job. Was this common in mental hospitals? Or was this unique to this hospital because of how Dr. Wick ran it like a bording school?
