Clifford Beers' "A Mind That Found Itself" is a poignant autobiography detailing his harrowing experiences in mental institutions at the age of twenty-four, where he witnessed the appalling treatment of patients. After enduring eight years in various facilities, Beers courageously exposed the inhumane conditions he encountered, advocating for reform and the humane treatment of those with mental illness. His efforts culminated in the establishment of the Clifford Beers Clinic in 1913, marking him as a pioneer of the American Mental Hygiene Movement.
