Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness
by Susannah Cahalan
Susannah is living her stressful but fulfilling life as a journalist when she starts having a lot more insecurities and paranoid thinking. Slowly she starts deteriorating even more until she realizes that maybe it isn’t natural what is happening but something might actually be wrong with her. After testing and testing in the hospital they can’t seem to find anything wrong with her. But she’s getting worse, her language is getting worse, she’s having seizures, her body is becoming more frigid. But still there doesn’t seem to be a physical cause. Her parents and friends are striving to figure out what is happening to her before all hope is lost and she is sent to a psychiatric ward for care.
I thought this book was super interesting and informative. At some points I felt it was slow but overall I felt it was really well written. I did get super frustrated though when the doctors wouldn’t believe her or would act like she wasn’t as bad as she was it was so annoying.
