Biography: general; Psychiatry

1.8 million people are directly concerned by psychiatry in France. 350,000 are in hospital. For every 1,000 inhabitants, there is 1 forced hospitalization. Yet this system, which generates social exclusion and stigmatization, dominates. Interned at the age of 16, Christelle Rosar has been hospitalized for twenty years. She was restrained, injected with drugs and kept in a vegetative state. She has seen patients remain in hospital from adolescence to death, and others gradually suffer the side effects of treatments. Now liberated, she recounts her struggle to regain her autonomy and her place in society, denouncing the abuses and flaws of the particularly violent French psychiatric system.
