It's a brilliant book by a highly intelligent, successful woman who has bipolar disorder, who has considered suicide, who had so many wild manias, she had to check herself into a hospital.
There is nothing wrong with being told you are intelligent. Not sure what you are getting at here....I think it's a blessing to be intelligent & can help a person understand this brain disorder through studying about it

She told me I am intelligent and I rolled my eyes and told her I don't know why she thinks that. She said something to the effect that she is qualified to decide it and does think I am intelligent. I said well ok....
Then she said that being intelligent can make it harder to deal with being bipolar. I said well I will read the book and see if I can understand what you mean by that...
