| Summary | "The powerful memoir of one woman's experience with psychiatric diagnoses and medication, and her journey to discover her true self outside the mental health system At age thirteen, Laura Delano's parents brought her to her first psychiatrist who quickly diagnosed her with bipolar disorder and started her on a treatment of psychiatric drugs. At school, Delano was the model student, earning straight-As, a national squash ranking, and elected president of her class; at home, she unleashed all the rage she felt, lashing out at her family and locking herself in her bedroom, contemplating her death. Delano's initial bipolar diagnosis marked the beginning of a life-altering saga."-- |
