Description

Book cover for TheLoveMutt from the nanowrimo forums.

Title: The Medication Chronicles
Author: Elizabeth A. Decasse
Genre: Literary Fiction
Summary:
Now, i don't have an official plot synopsis. It's more of a general idea at this point:
A look into the workings of a mental health facility and into the lives of those who work and reside there.

The inspiration behind my novel though is children with mental health disorders, and how they are treated. I've always been torn about putting children on medication, esp since most of the meds for psych disorders aren't meant for kids. However, I've seen these kids on AND off meds, and during med changes, and I shudder to think what some of them would be like without some help. The book will look at the thought process and perspectives of the clients, their families, and the staff (who take the brunt of the abuse). It'll work with the rules that are set in place in such facilities (like how they can't have pens or pencils in their rooms, how even a screw holding the knob onto their dresser drawer can be used as a weapon, and how there are no doors on their bedrooms.) It will address the irony behind some disorders (like how are toughest punks wet the bed, etc). Mental health patients are typically seen as adolescents or older, and the psychiatric children can be... well, quite shocking.
