Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So: A Memoir by Mark Vonnegut

4.0

Summary (SPOILERS): Mark Vonnegut M.D., son of esteemed author Kurt Vonnegut Jr., writes of his childhood in an unconventional home and family, his struggles with mental illness including 4 psychotic breaks, and his journey from Harvard Medical School to becoming a partner in a pediatric firm. He tells the narrative of his life all the while providing well-informed and contemplated insights on mental illness and the state of medical care in our country.

Thoughts: The no-bullshit manner of writing and wittiness of the remarks made on some fairly large and bleak issues made it a delightfully engaging read.
