Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So: A Memoir by Mark Vonnegut
4.0
This memoir chronicles the life of its author, Dr. Mark Vonnegut as he struggles with bipolar disorder (before there was a name for it) and alcoholism.
You can tell Vonnegut, like his father Kurt, is a gifted storyteller. And he truly cares about the message he is trying to convey. So many wonderful stories and quotes are in these pages.
I connected with this book because of my own mental health journey, and history with alcohol. It offers inspiration.
It doesn't feel right to give a number ranking to someone's personal story. But I would recommend this to anyone who has struggled with mental health, addiction, or both.
