Her schizophrenia progressed gradually over time for multiple reasons including academic pressure and alcoholism. Anne grew up in a large Catholic family. She started writing in high school and was awarded a journalism scholarship. She wasn't serious and dropped out after three semesters.
She was married at age twenty-two, her husband graduated from college, and they moved to Washington, D.C. all in the same week. She was swept away by life in the nation's capital during the 1970s--Watergate, disco, money and the good times with their many new friends. She went on strike and became an alcoholic.
When returning to college in 1978, it was kind of an "Alice in Wonderland" story where she toppled into the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Unfortunately, she was by then always plagued by perfectionism and the stress that came with it. She lost her sanity in that endeavor.
She was involuntarily committed to mental hospitals six times over the years. She was voluntarily hospitalized the last time in 1989. She has her own family now and leads an optimistic life.voir moins
