'I'd been in Claybury for four months before I was given ECT. I was
sixteen. The day I went down for it I was wearing a striped
hospital dressing gown and yellow pyjamas. I'd been given the Last
Rites.' John O'Donoghue was first admitted to Claybury asylum with
manic depression aged sixteen, just after his mother had been
institutionalised. He spent over a decade in asylums, halfway
houses, therapeutic communities, hostels for homeless men, squats,
and on the streets. Sectioned is an honest and moving account of
his experiences. It is also ultimately the story of his survival
against the odds, and of his coming of age in a Britain that was
changing forever.
