My Memoir Has Been Released!
Updated: Jul 9, 2024
When Brilliance and Madness Collide: Bipolar Disorder Without Boundaries, a 200-page narrative memoir about my over-forty-year diagnosed history with this disease, gives readers an up-close-and-personal look at what it's like to live with bipolar disorder. The book's most unique aspect is the in-depth account of my 2018 psychotic episode, which I wrote during the six weeks after I returned home from a psychiatric hospital, drawing on the copious notes I’d made during the episode and subsequent hospitalizations.
The rest of the book frames that episode in the larger context of my life, beginning with a brief backstory about my life with bipolar disorder, then a closer look at the two years leading up to the episode and the warning signs that were apparent (in retrospect). The chapters about my manic psychosis and recovery, which comprise the longest section of the book, are followed by a discussion about my life since the episode, notably my experiences managing bipolar disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic.
