Bedlam

Cuckoo~~~Cuckoo

Psychologist, Amy Rose Michaels, spent years in her attempt to understand the crazy workings of her parents' dysfunctional minds; her father, Brandon Michaels, suffers from bi-polar illness and alcoholism, and her mother, Silvia Michaels with an extreme case of OCD and a whole lot of cuckoo. This search for answers leads Amy to study psychology. After years in practice, Amy grows alarmed as she sees, one by one, her patients become murdered. Is there romance in this story? Do ducks have wings? * The word Bedlam can be traced back to 1247 when the Priory of St Mary of Bethlehem was established in the City of London. The priory, which became a refuge for the sick and infirm, was known as ‘Bedlam’ and was the earliest incarnation of what is now Bethlem Royal Hospital, part of the South London and Maudsley (SLaM). ‘Bedlam’ also reflects how mental illness has been perceived historically and while treatment has changed dramatically over the past 800 years, stigma undoubtedly still remains.
