Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament by Kay Redfield Jamison

5.0

This is such an affirming book for someone like myself who is discovering more about my mental health diagnosis. Really fascinating. I will say though, it's very clinical (which I greatly appreciate) but it's filled with inspiring and relatable quotes and stories from famous historical authors and artists, which I also greatly appreciate. It's not a read for just anyone to pick up and enjoy - would be very, very dry to someone who is not studying the topic or experiencing the topic.
