Basically it's an autobiograpical tale of a woman dealing with Bi-Polar Disorder along with her addiction isues. I cannot remember a single other thing about it. Like I said, it was required reading and I would never have picked it up if I hadn't had to read it for the class. I got an "A" on the report though. ( ) Terri Cheney's memoir is a very accurate description of life with a manic-depressive. My ex-wife was charming, seductive, and a blast to be with when she was hypomanic just like Ms. Cheney. But like Ms. Cheney my ex-spouse was self-destructive at other times. Life was total chaos but always exciting. Manic: A Memoir was very enjoyable. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Distinctions
On the outside, Terri Cheney was a successful, attractive Beverly Hills entertainment lawyer. But behind her seemingly flawless façade lay a dangerous secret--for most of her life Cheney had been battling bipolar disorder and concealing a pharmacy's worth of prescriptions meant to make her "normal." Cheney describes her roller-coaster life with shocking honesty--from glamorous parties to a night in jail; from flying fourteen kites off the edge of a cliff in a thunderstorm to crying beneath her office desk; from electroshock therapy to a suicide attempt fueled by tequila and prescription painkillers. The events unfold episodically, from mood to mood, the way she lived and remembers life. In this way the reader is able to viscerally experience the incredible speeding highs of mania and the crushing blows of depression. This book does not simply explain bipolar disorder--it takes us in its grasp and does not let go.--From publisher description. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
