This book did a really good job at explaining and helping me to understand manic depressive disorder. Many things I would have orignally thought to be schizophrenia can also present in people as mania (which I never fully understood until now) and psychosis isn't just exclusive to schizophrenia and unresolved trauma. It was a very interesting read. Slightly hard to follow at times, but really helped to shed light on a very serious mental disorder if it's left untreated.
