Title: So?
Product review: I am bipolar and this book didn't do much for me. In her defense, Ms Jamison did something very important in that she showed the world a manic depressive who had come to live in the real world and had succeeded. It takes a lot to undo what Patty Duke did when she made a movie depicting herself pitching King Kong fits and ruining everything - not an image that does a lot for the rest of us when we are out here trying to get insurance, jobs, and everything else. That's why Jamison's book is very necessary. However, as a bipolar person, reading about someone else's problems with the disease doesn't do anything for me. If I wanted that I'd write my own autobiography. I found this book egotistical, and if she meant to help me with my illness by writing it, then she could have talked a little more about my illness and a little less about the life she found so extraordinary.
