Review:
Kay Redfield Jamison is haunted by manic depressive illness, or as commonly known as bipolar disorder. She tells of how normal she is on the outside and shows how mad she is on the inside. Starting in her adolescence, you will be taken on her rollercoaster called life, of literal ups and downs.
The mood throughout the book is very light. Full of hope. Even when Jamison is talking about her depressive states, you can tell that there is always hope.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know what is going on inside the head of madness. What it actually means to be bipolar. I believe that everyone should know the definition of any mental illness and also know that it is a real thing. This book should be read by those who are curious about what mental illnesses are and how they affect others.
I really enjoyed your review because I agree that the topic of mental illness is one that should be discussed more often and by reading this book or books like this could help shed some light on the inter workings of someone struggling with mental illness.
