Operators and Things: The Inner Life of a Schizophrenic - Goodreads
OPERATORS AND THINGS: THE INNER LIFE OF A SCHIZOPHRENIC by Barbara O'Brien (not her real name) is an insider's view of madness. There have been others who have tried to capture their mental break in words, but most are paranoid, disjointed and, well, crazy. O'Brien is different.

Her world consisted of those who put invisible hooks in the backs of the recievers of their operant conditioning. Operators and their [NPC] things.
One amazing scene was when the voices in her head told her exactly what to do in order to walk out of a jail. Then they cured her and left.
