Restless mind: my victory over a bipolar disorder. Jamison K.

Kay Jamison, a well -known psychiatrist and professor at Jones Hopkins, wrote several world bestsellers on depression and bipolar disorder, but this book is special. The Restless Mind is a frank story about a person’s life with a bipolar disorder. Life in which there are incredible emotional peaks - and the same incredible downs. Life, in which feelings are sharp to the limit, and failures lead to black depression.

Kay Jamison experienced all this on herself - depression, mania, and an attempt to suicide. Being a psychiatrist, she devoted herself to the study of affective disorders in general and bipolar disorder in particular. Where does the disease come from? How much is it to treat? What will happen if you refuse medicines? What gives psychotherapy? But the book will be interesting not only to people with a bar, because this is a fascinating story about the human psyche, and a person’s personal experience with a different perception of the world, and the story that a person is able to overcome all difficulties.
