> For example, a friend of mine had a terrible experience at the hospital that the story is based on (they changed the name, of course).

Wow, everybody's been there! :)

> They kept her there and gave her the diagnosis de jour, a controversial one (like in the movie). That is, they kept her there as long as they thought (assumed) her father could pay the bills. As soon (and I mean within minutes) as they discovered that he couldn't, they shipped her to the state hospital, where the psychiatrist discharged her after 2 days of observation, telling her she didn't need to be in the hospital any more. I certainly wouldn't recommend this film for my friend--it would be too evocative.

Read the book _Mount Misery_, which also takes place at McLean.

> I really liked it.

Cool! Some friends and I have been trying to organize a movie mob to see it, so I'm glad to hear it was good.
