An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness

by Kay Redfield Jamison

​

In this memoir, Dr. Jamison poignantly describes her lifetime struggle with bipolar disorder (then known as manic-depressive illness).

 

Her story exemplifies how psychotic disorders manifest even in highly intelligent and high-functioning individuals, and her unique circumstance provides extraordinary insight into the highs and lows of bipolar disorder both as a clinical psychologist and as a patient.
