Manic: A Memoir, by Terri Cheney
It’s not often that I see a book on ADHD or Bipolar Disorder that I think is worth mentioning to my readers. In this case I feel I need to make an exception. Manic: A Memoir, by former Los Angeles Entertainment lawyer Terri Cheney is getting rave reviews not only from the mental health oriented communities, but from mainstream reviewers as well.
The orange County Register calls this book “Amazing and powerful…[MANIC] forces the reader into Cheney’s bipolar world, into her deep and fearful depressions mixed with her giddy, high-flying manic moods”
As someone who has not only lived with a family member affected by Bipolar Disorder, but also as someone who was misdiagnosed with the disorder himself, I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this book. Bipolar disorder is misunderstood by most who never see how terrible the effects of mania can be, both to the affected person and to those that are close to them. This book givs a look inside the condition, from the perspective of someone who actually lives with it.
I’ll be ordering my copy on the 1st. What about you?
