Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan

3.0

This book is interesting and well written, but my main complaint is except for a throw away comment, she never acknowledges how being well off and white played in her ability to get a diagnosis beyond just being mentally ill. In that way it may the book seem somewhat self indulgent, and self aggrandizing and spoiled the good things for me.
