Title: Painfully frank and boldly accurate
Product review: Kudos to Dr. Jamison for having the courage - and it takes tremendous courage - to publicly acknowledge and discuss BiPolar depression. I know because I also am BiPolar. Her story gave me comfort in knowing that I was not alone or unique in my feelings and struggles. My only criticism of the book is that the vast majority of people do not have her financial, educational, and social network resources . By constantly name-dropping her association with wealthy Ivy League schools, colleagues, and 'pillars of society', she put me off. Less elitism would have mad her story easier for more people to relate to and glean hope from.
