SUICIDE, BROUGHT about by a bullying psychiatrist and anti-depressants should never happen. Unfortunately it did. Jann McPherson tells of the shortcomings of the mental health system in her newly released book. ‘No Place to Die’ is a penetrating, honest and revealing account of psychiatry written by mother Jann McPherson of her daughter Gretel’s tragic and unnecessary death. Jann refuses to let her daughter’s death be swept under the carpet and she wants to hold accountable those who were responsible, not just for the sake of Gretel but for others too, who died under the same system.
Gretel was 24 years of age, beautiful, intelligent and talented, with everything to live for. She died hanging, after voluntary admission to a Perth psychiatric hospital, from a bed curtain rail after a journey of tragic decline.
