"The Other Side of Mind" delves into the mind of a bipolar patient,
exploring the soaring highs of mania and the devastating lows of
depression. When Sarah Smyth began writing, she was consumed by
madness and desperately needed psychiatric care. Because of the
complexities of this illness, diagnosis was difficult, and Sarah
endured several years of emotional and mental torment while being
in serious denial.
She suffers from bipolar disorder and has experienced
devastating depressions and severe, disturbing manias that made
recovery seem impossible. In the past, at times she nearly lost the
will to live, but then at other times felt that it was her job to
save the world. Gripped by psychosis, she suffered severe episodes
of depression and mania where she lost complete touch with reality
while she experienced frightening hallucinations and delusions.
Eventually, a correct diagnosis was made, and treatment finally
began. Medication and therapy are essential for bipolar patients to
recover their lives, but there are also important life skills that
one must learn in order to recover successfully and maintain that
recovery. Smyth explores the dos and don'ts of diagnosis,
treatment, recovery, and life skills in a highly personal and
compassionate narrative.
