This is a manual, not a textbook, of living with a severe manic-depressive illness. It's a life and death story, divided into three parts of survival and burning alive. The text may be found disturbing and offensive to some readers; nonetheless, this is a real life account from a manic-depressive. The author's purpose, besides saving his own life, is to use his 33 years of manic-depression to educate and support those who face the same chronic problems. Professionals and psychology students may find this a useful handbook. With a literary touch, this author's account is a genuine case study that stands alone on its own merit.
