## Description

WITH A NEW PREFACE BY THE AUTHORIn her bestselling classic, An Unquiet Mind, Kay Redfield Jamison changed the way we think about moods and madness.Dr. Jamison is one of the foremost authorities on manic-depressive (bipolar) illness; she has also experienced it firsthand. For even while she was pursuing her career in academic medicine, Jamison found herself succumbing to the same exhilarating highs and catastrophic depressions that afflicted many of her patients, as her disorder launched her into ruinous spending sprees, episodes of violence, and an attempted suicide.Here Jamison examines bipolar illness from the dual perspectives of the healer and the healed, revealing both its terrors and the cruel allure that at times prompted her to resist taking medication. An Unquiet Mind is a memoir of enormous candor, vividness, and wisdom—a deeply powerful book that has both transformed and saved lives.

Review: Best book about being bipolar. - I read this book shortly after a suicide attempt. It is a book I really needed at the time. The book talks about using Lithium for treating mania/depression and I was on Lithium at the time. It's been four years and I still return to it occasionally. It is written with so much warmth. It gives you the perspective of a patient as well as the doctor. It does not romanticize the illness like some other works about bipolar disorder. It is written like a scientific research. That's what you would expect from a researcher like Kay.
Review: Excellent autobiographical book which helps anyone with bipolar disorder - Really helpful book and helps answer lot of doubts for folks with bipolar disorder. It's autobiographical in nature, tells medicines and various experiences.
