Book Description
I was twenty-six years old and had just endured my second committed psychiatric hospitalization for suicidal depression when I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. At that time, I had no idea how sick I was-and would later become. Battling Bipolar Disorder, a Memoir chronologically reports the pain, despair and hopelessness of a woman suffering from mental illness for seventeen years. My first-person, present-tense story recounts 11 suicide attempts (that I can remember), multiple failed medication trials, electric shock treatments (a last resort that fails) and numerous psychiatric hospitalizations. Even though during many of these episodes I was-and still am-a licensed professional mental health therapist myself, I continue to deny my illness and often refuse treatment, which, of course, results in reckless behaviors. I continually ride a physical, mental and emotional roller coaster. Battling Bipolar Disorder, A Memoir is both graphic and seductive. Readers will be intrigued with the inner workings of mental institutions, suicidal plans and relationships between the bipolar patient and both her family and mental health doctors. These physicians fall into categories of the good, the bad and the ugly.

Book Description
The New York Times bestseller “A glistening psychological history, faceted largely by the biographies of eight famous leaders . . .” —The Boston Globe “A provocative thesis . . . Ghaemi’s book deserves high marks for original thinking.” —The Washington Post “Provocative, fascinating.” —Salon.com Historians have long puzzled over the apparent mental instability of great and terrible leaders alike: Napoleon, Lincoln, Churchill, Hitler, and others. In A First-Rate Madness, Nassir Ghaemi, director of the Mood Disorders Program at Tufts Medical Center, offers a myth-shattering exploration of the powerful connections between mental illness and leadership and sets forth a controversial, compelling thesis: The very qualities that mark those with mood disorders also make for the best leaders in times of crisis. From the importance of Lincoln's "depressive realism" to the lackluster leadership of exceedingly sane men as Neville Chamberlain, A First-Rate Madness overturns many of our most cherished perceptions about greatness and the mind.

Book Description
Overcome with mental anguish, Monica A. Coleman's great-grandfather had his two young sons pull the chair out from beneath him when he hanged himself. That noose remained tied to a rafter in the shed, where it hung above the heads of his eight children who played there for years to come. As it had for generations before her, a heaviness hung over Monica throughout her young life. As an adult, this rising star in the academy saw career successes often fueled by the modulated highs of undiagnosed Bipolar II Disorder, as she hid deep depression that even her doctors skimmed past in disbelief. Serendipitous encounters with Black intellectuals like Henry Louis Gates Jr., Angela Davis, and Renita Weems were countered by long nights of stark loneliness. Only as Coleman began to face her illness was she able to live honestly and faithfully in the world. And in the process, she discovered a new and liberating vision of God. Written in crackling prose, Monica's spiritual autobiography examines her long dance with trauma, depression, and the threat of death in light of the legacies of slavery, war, sharecropping, poverty, and alcoholism that masked her family history of mental illness for generations.
