So Adriana. Sixteen beautiful straight A's. Her family goes to Yosemite on vacation. And when they get to their mountain cabin, they're surrounded by six deer. And they think it's a magical moment. But 10 days later, Adriana starts to hallucinate. She becomes paranoid. She's aggressive. She ends up in a psychiatric hospital, not once, three times.

She's on multiple antipsychotic medications and her mother's just beside herself. And the last doctor told the mother she has schizophrenia.

And it turned out she had Lyme disease from a deer tick.
