In February, Christine fought the devil at her boarding home in Austin.
At the time, she told us she wasn’t taking her medication. “And I saw the devil on the floor and he opened his mouth to swallow me whole.” Then she blacked out. She was told she had a seizure, and acted violently towards first responders. “I don’t know what’s going on with me at all,” she said.
Which is how, like so many others in America, she ended up in jail during a mental health crisis.
