Kaysen was born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1967, Kaysen attended the Commonwealth School before being sent to McLean Hospital to undergo psychiatric treatment for depression. It was there she learned she had borderline personality disorder. She was released after eighteen months. She later drew on this experience for her 1994 memoir Girl, Interrupted, which was made into a film in 1999, her role being played by Winona Ryder.
