I thought it was very creatively and well written, with some spot on descriptions of episodes. I'm glad she wrote about her struggles with Lithium and medication compliance and how she came to peace with the disorder and found the right medication dosage.

I am still curious how she managed to progress through school (undergrad, grad, then beyond) and work with so few needs for disability breaks. Or at least that was never mentioned sufficiently in the book. I know she had excellent support, but did she really go and teach lectures in severe mental states? Also, a couple times she mentioned people being afraid of portions of her episodes, but the impact on her social life/relationships seemed so little. Is Lithium the only medication she has ever needed? If so, lucky her! Actually, I still have a number of questions about her experience.

Reading Kay Redfield Jamison's memoir makes it clear to me that we do all share some similarities in experience, but also differences, too.
