A review by justagirlwithabook
Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan

informative tense fast-paced

4.0

I listened to the one on audio, though I also own the book, which made it a very quick listen. Incredibly informative as well as a bit horrifying. I read this one immediately after reading The Pretender where the author mentions her own experiences with mental illness and her autoimmune disease. I wanted to know a bit more so turned around and read this one. Definitely recommended for those who are interested in understanding mental health and frustrations of navigating a scary health situation that doesn’t have a name or is just invisible. Susannah was one of the lucky ones.
