Bipolar

In Bipolar, the psychologist and professor of psychiatry Kay R. Jamison proposed herself as a "clinical case" and decided to tell her own shocking experience as a manic-depressive patient. Jamison lived through the hells of this illness, also called bipolar disorder, so universal and, at the same time, little known. From a very young age she began to show a character that would be revealed as a precursor to the disease. Shortly after graduating in psychology, she suffered her first episode. From then on, and for thirty years, her life has been an authentic odyssey, described in these pages with extreme sensitivity, tenderness and lucidity. This work, a reference book, and also an extraordinary help for those who suffer from this type of disorder, now appears with a new prologue by the author.
