Summary

In this frank and powerful memoir, Rebecca writes about her life with a severe mood disorder, which ultimately revealed itself to be bipolar disorder. People may be surprised to read of the difficulty in making the diagnosis and wonder why it wasn’t clear from the start. The answer is that this is quite common. There are often several episodes of depression before a ‘high’, and this can, in any case, be difficult to distinguish from the ‘hyper-wellness’ of the release from depression.
