An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

WITH A FRESH PREFACE BY THE WRITER

In her bestselling classic, An Unquiet Mind, Kay Redfield Jamison changed the way we think about moods and madness.

Dr. Jamison is among the foremost government bodies on manic-depressive (bipolar) disease; she’s also experienced it firsthand. For even while she was going after her career in academic medication, Jamison found out herself succumbing to the same exhilarating highs and catastrophic depressions that afflicted a lot of her sufferers, as her disorder released her into ruinous spending sprees, shows of assault, and an attempted suicide.

Right here Jamison examines bipolar illness through the dual perspectives from the healer and the healed, revealing both its terrors as well as the cruel allure that sometimes prompted her to resist acquiring medication. An Unquiet Brain is definitely a memoir of enormous candor, vividness, and wisdom-a deeply effective book that has both transformed and kept lives.
