## Resource

Clifford Beers' "A Mind That Found Itself" is a poignant autobiography that recounts his harrowing experiences in mental institutions at the age of twenty-four, where he witnessed the appalling mistreatment of patients. After enduring eight years of confinement, Beers courageously exposed these inhumane conditions, sparking a movement for mental health reform. His dedication to improving the lives of those with mental illness led to the establishment of the Clifford Beers Clinic in 1913 and the founding of the American Mental Hygiene Movement.
