ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"It's Kind of a Funny Story" by Ned Vizzini, tells the story of a teenager grappling with anxiety and depression who finds himself in a psychiatric hospital. Overwhelmed by the pressures of school and life, he seeks help and is admitted to Six North, an adult psychiatric floor.

There, he encounters a diverse group of patients, each with their own struggles, and begins to forge meaningful connections. Through therapy, self-reflection, and the support of his newfound friends, he starts to confront his inner demons and rediscover his passion for art. The novel is about his journey toward self-acceptance, recovery, and finding hope amidst the challenges of mental illness.
