Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison is one the best authors and speakers when it comes to articulating the experience of manic-depressive illness. She has devoted her life to researching moods, and in this 30-minute talk, she describes some of her own experiences with bipolar disease. From the alluring highs of mania to the dark depths of depression, Jamison tells about what it took for her to finally accept that she needed to stay on medication after a suicide attempt. While the side effects of lithium (which is the most commonly prescribed drug for bipolar disorder) were challenging, Jamison realized she needed to stick to her medication in order to stay alive. If you enjoyed this talk, her bestselling book
An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness
, which she narrates, is highly recommended.
