    Power Struggle

    About one in every five people are diagnosed with a mental disorder each year, other

    mental disorders being more severe than others. Susannah Cahalan was diagnosed with a rare

    disease named neurological autoimmune which is an identifiable immune response targeting a

    specific site or antigen in the nervous system. Susannah Cahalan has an obvious power struggle

    with the doctors in general. Susannah goes to see a doctor named Dr.Najjar, where the doctor

    suspects the anti-NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis and promises to help treat the

    problem. An example of a power struggle between the two, is when Susannah has to keep asking

    Dr.Najjar to do stuff like permission to dye her hair. Even if Susannah can perform tasks and

    move through society with relative ease by this point, reminders that she's not all there still have

    the power to plunge her back down into agonizing about her identity going forward.
