“Madhouse, a tragic tale of megalomania and modern medicine is the book you're referring to. That reminds me of Flowers of Argonon. That doesn't have a happy ending, and that's not about mental health necessarily, but it's about the journey of the institution in relation to the health of a patient.”
Why: Mentioned as a compelling historical book about institutional care.
