I really liked learning about manic depression, from the view of someone who had it. But I also felt she was very repetitive throughout the book, didnt like that she wouldnt just list how old she waw during some of the mania time frames as listing the year it happened didnt provide ANY context for me, and had issues with the last part of the book. The main of her say if we have less manic-depressive kids the world could be blander, to me it implies that "normal" people are bland, lacking the personality she goes on to say that comes with manic-depression. Then later saying someone would benefit for a little mania... that's not it, just as he was wrong for his response eto her saying she has mania to then imply he sucks because he's "normal" you're doing the SAME reaction as him... judging.
Then again in the epilogue saying people can't understand depression because losing a job or going through a divorce, you have no idea what could string someone into a depression, to say these people are just in a depressed state is very unsenisitive... especially considering you're supposed to be a psychologist. Gave the vibes of well if they don't have manic-depression they haven't faced turmiols or they don't know what depression is... and that's not it.
