    • Trivia
      Her research indicated that in 2009 most people with the disease were either misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. Cahalan was fortunate to be correctly diagnosed because, according to Najjar's estimates, only 10 percent of people with the disease were properly diagnosed at that time. Since then, a better understanding of the disease and its symptoms has resulted in more frequent diagnosis and treatment.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Susannah Cahalan: Have you ever been trapped? Lost in your own body, lost in your own mind, lost in time? So desperate to escape, to just... Get out.

    Amazing Job
    The acting was amazing from Chloë Grace Moretz , I thought she was vary believable in her role. The movie itself was inspiring. It was one of those movies you watch, and it felt like your life has been changed in some way. Chloë has been proving herself the be one of the best, and I believe some day she will win an Oscar.
