Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan

5.0

this was so fascinating. i went into this interested from a psych/neuro standpoint but i ended up being equally interested in the actual process of how she wrote the book - the combination of interviews/diaries/videos to piece together missing moments. i also appreciated the critiques of the medical system and the discussion of the perception of disability both versus and in combination with the inner experience of disability. really great read!
