An Unquiet Mind A Memoir of Moods and Madness - Thryft

Insightful journey through manic-depressive experience.

"An Unquiet Mind" puts you intimately in the shoes of someone living with manic-depression, a condition more widely known today as bipolar disorder. Kay Redfield Jamison's expertise as a psychologist paired with her personal battle against this illness provides a raw, authoritative perspective that's uniquely enriching. It's a book that resonates deeply, not just with those who share her struggles, but also with anyone who seeks to understand the complexities of the human mind.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
