As I’ve said at the beginning of this review more than a half of the population suffer or experience depression and there are those who are affected by it every day for all of their life. This autobiography deals with a lot of subjects which are important and executed really well. Kay Redfield Jamison is really brave for sharing her story with the world and I feel grateful to have read it. I have to say that this is really an essential book for everyone interested in psychology or manic depressive disorder. Within this pages you will experience what it is like being bipolar and get to know the story of this brilliant doctor. Kay Redfield Jamison gives us an insight of her childhood and how the darkness consumed her and her way of living with mental illness. The characteristics of manic depressive disorder are mostly mood swings – a person’s mind tends to switch moods from over-the-moon happy to terribly sad. This is an autobiography of Kay Redfield Jamison – she is a clinical psychologist whose work mainly centers on manic depressive disorder (generally known as bipolar disorder). I have read a few memoirs with similar topics as this one but this one is the most memorable. I have been interested in mental disorders for a while now – mainly because they affect a lot of population.
