What is it About?

A psychologist writes of her own struggle with depression and bipolarism.

My Thoughts:

Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison writes about her life dealing with bipolar. Her struggle with schools, relationships and her inner critic.

My own psychiatrist recommend this book hoping I would relate that this was another woman struggling with illness and gaining the upper hand on. I really did not find that much I could relate with her since she has bipolar and I have schizophrenia. She pretty much examined her whole life and realized she had this illness very early in her life. I respect that she has accomplished much in her life. I don’t know if I will ever accomplish to the degree she has done. You may not agree with my rating for every person it will probably be different.
