Has anyone read this book?

What are your thoughts?

I read a lot of reviews saying people didn't like or have empathy for the author as she either seemed egotistical or full of self pity. I wanted to ask why they were reading a book that was focused on how mania and bipolar feels to the person experiencing it?

Of course she is going to be egotistical while manic and self pitying while depressed, that's kind of standard?

It helped me realise a lot of things in terms of what parts I related to and what parts I didn't.

I realised that maybe 80% of my depression is more of a mixed state.

I am really interested to know anyone's thoughts on the book and author
