Product placement

Girl, Interrupted (movie): appears as a visual aid, removing it would not change what happens in the video. The Bell Jar (book): mentioned as a comparison point, removing it would not change what happens in the video. McLane Hospital: acts as a location where Lindsay Clancy was treated, removing it would change the narrative. Susanna Kaysen: acts as the author of The Bell Jar, whose experience at McLane Hospital inspired the book, removing her name would change the narrative. Lindsay Clancy: acts as the subject of the discussion, whose treatment at McLane Hospital is the central topic, removing her name would change the narrative.
