An Unquiet Mind-a biography by Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison who accounts thr her trials and tribulations of Bipolar and how she strives and survives daily with her mood disorder. This a must read for all because chances are you are dealing with your own mood disorder, or know someone who is.

A very interesting and well written real-life account of someone with a mental illness. I found that once I started reading this book, I couldn't stop. It's a great read!

It is wonderful to have a doctor - who understands the science of it all - and yet is afflicted with it - explain what she can about it and still acknowledge the impossible / unexplainable aspects to the diseases ....
She comforts us with her knowledge, experiences, trials and tribulations and determination. She respects those afflicted - and yet scolds people for not trying
An amazing read for those affected and for those trying to understand someone who is.

what an excellent book. it made me more aware of the disorder that i had for so long. i found i could associate on many levels with the author. i recommend this book to anyone who has a loved one with bipolar disorder.

I needed a book to make me understand more what my sister is going through. i have a better understanding of this "bipolar" disease and the nessecity to take the medication to regulate her. Kay Jamison is a brave woman to tell her life story about this illness.
