I made 'Prozac Nation' necessary reading because I write necessarily. I tell my story because it is about everyone else: in 1993, people took pills to relieve the pain just like they do now, but it scared them; it doesn't any more, because talk is not cheap at all - it is tender.
Mental illness is so much more complicated than any pill that any mortal could invent
They can give you all the pills on earth and do whatever - and you're still yourself.
