About this product
Product Information
I was used to my mind being my best friend. Now, all of a sudden, my mind had turned on me: it mocked me for my vapid enthusiasms; it laughed at all of my foolish plans; it no longer found anything interesting or enjoyable or worthwhile. Dr Kay Redfield Jamison is one of the foremost authorities on manic depression (bipolar disorder) - and has experienced its terrors and cruel allure first-hand. While pursuing her career in medicine, she was affected by the same exhilarating highs and catastrophic lows that afflicted many of her patients. From her jubilant childhood to the disquiet that has dominated her adult life, she charts a journey through her own mind, and those of others. An Unquiet Mind is a definitive examination of manic depression from both sides: doctor and patient, the healer and the healed. A classic memoir of enormous candour and courage, it teems with the wit and wisdom of its creator.Product Identifiers

Inspiring, honest insight into the life of one living with manic depressive / bipolar disorder
Great book. The fact that Kay has succeeded whilst living with MD is reassuring and inspiring. This honest account shows readers that mental health disorders do not define usVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Disappointed
This books wasn't so much a story of mental illness it was more her life story which I found very boring and lost interest to many times to count. Very little on her struggle with bipolar and I felt she didn't open up Enough to understand her properly. Confused and disappointed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
