About This Book
This memoir tells the story of my struggles with and continuing recovery from severe depression and anxiety. Part I relates my two-and-a-half years in a treatment center for the mentally ill, which I called Turnaround, where I lived from 1979 to 1981, and which had a profound and lasting impact on my life. Part II describes my week in a Minneapolis hospital psych ward in February 1995 which also impacted my life in a major way. Part III relates several experiences in which music played a major role in shaping my creative journey and helping me with my healing.
