About this listen

From intake to discharge, Life Inside the Asylum walks you through the modern psychiatric system: the rules, the rituals, the staff, the patients, the punishment protocols, and the quiet violence hidden behind clinical language. No fluff. No fiction. Just the raw structure of a world few understand until they’re already inside. Locked doors. Forced meds. Therapy by checklist. This is what happens when mental health care stops being care — and becomes compliance. Whether you’ve been curious, cautious, or caught in the system yourself, this book shows you how it actually works — and what it really means to be “stabilized.”
