Diagnosed with severe anxiety, PTSD, and OCD in her early twenties, Sarah Fawn Montgomery spent the next ten years seeking treatment and the language with which to describe the indescribable consequences of her mental illness. Faced with disbelief, intolerable side effects, and unexpected changes in her mental health as a result of treatment, Montgomery turned to American history and her own personal history-including her turbulent childhood and the violence she faced as a young woman-to make sense of the experience.Blending memoir with literary journalism, Montgomery's Quite Mad: An American Pharma Memoir examines America's history of mental illness treatment-lobotomies to sterilization, the rest cure to Prozac-to challenge contemporary narratives about mental health. Questioning what it means to be a woman with highly stigmatized disorders, Montgomery also asks why mental illness continues to escalate in the United States despite so many "cures." Investigating the construction of mental illness as a "female" malady, Montgomery exposes the ways current attitudes towards women and their bodies influence madness as well as the ways madness has transformed to a chronic Illness in our cultural imagination. Montgomery's Quite Mad is one woman's story, but it offers a beacon of hope and truth for the millions of individuals living with mental illness and issues a warning about the danger of diagnosis and the complex definition of sanity.

My high energy dogs favorite puzzle!
Bought this to keep my high energy dog busy. He has many puzzles but this one seems to be his favorite, a lot of them he wasn’t very interested in and would get bored and give up quickly. This will keep him entertained for about 10-15 minutes and is a fun thing for him to do as an apartment dog that needs enrichment in the middle of the day! Love how cute it is, especially during football season, we will give this to him while we watch a game so that he can enjoy the game with us lol

Great toy for dogs or cats
Color: Clemson Tigers, Size: Large, Color: Clemson Tigers, Size: Large
Both my dog and cat love this treat finding toy. Dog (husky) can work it very quickly- the doors slide a bit too easily for him but the cat also successfully hunts up his treats as well. The quality seems nice and despite their use, still looks brand new.

Fair product
Color: Ohio State Buckeyes, Size: Standard
Product works great and looks nice. Stickers come up easily. Maybe not worth the price. But still is a good product.
