It's interesting to read about the clinicians' perspective. I'd love to read more books like this, by psychiatrists as well as psychologists and clinicians in different countries.
I actually couldn't find any skeletons from cupboards in this book. It was a very personal and objective story in its subjectivity, if that makes sense.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
