香港作家李智良的《房間》處理了「時代的疫症」－精神病。在《房間》裡李智良處理了他對香港的複雜情感。《房間》是本文所謂的「自體免疫寫作」的一個例子。簡單地說，自體免疫寫作的特色就是「以毒攻毒」。在李智良的《房間》裡，我們可以看到精神病患是如何被各種醫療實踐，藥物論述建構成一種對社會安全有所危害的毒。當精神病患被醫療體系診斷，然後置放在一個例外狀態的時候，他作為普通人、正常人的資格於是被懸置。透過精神病患零碎的視角，本文思考什麼是範例？什麼又是例外？範例如何透過例外將自身合理化？更有甚者，範例如何將自身建立在例外之中？

Lee Chi-Leung, an essayist from Hong Kong, writes about depression-the epidemic of the epoch-in his The Room. In this collection of essays, Lee also attempts to process his tangled feelings for Hong Kong. The Room exemplifies what this essay terms ”the writing of autoimmunity.” Simply put, the writing of autoimmunity displays its critical force by pitting itself against the society wherefrom it rises. In The Room, Lee explains how depression is constructed by various medical practices and pharmaceutical discourses to be a certain malady that threatens the well-beingness of the society. When a person is diagnosed with depression, s/he is immediately place in a state of exception, a position outside normalcy. Through the ever-changing perspective of a patient of depression, this essay considers the meaning of normalcy and exception, and how normalcy depends on exception for legitimation.
