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 writer, Dr Kay Redfield Jamison. With an
introduction by Andrew Solomon, writer and lecturer on psychology
and culture. 'It stands alone in the literature of manic depression
for its bravery, brilliance and beauty.' - Oliver Sacks 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.
