At the young of age of seven, Jill's mother Eve takes her for regular sessions to a child psychologist for treatment of her anxiety, which only makes her behavior worse. When she reaches her teens, she starts drinking and then smoking marijuana with her boyfriends, which make her paranoid. Her father Donald had a moderate case of schizophrenia, and so the combination of drugs, schizophrenic genes that run in the family, and a dysfunctional homelife, lead to her first psychotic breakdown when she is about fifteen. She then goes on to suffer from schizophrenic episodes on and off for years. This story is about Jill's fight with schizophrenia and the mental health system, and how she changes her life.
