    A must read for anyone affected directly or indirectly by Bipolar Disorder
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2017*

This books came to me as a saviour in moments when I was desperately searching for answers.Long before my husband's diagnosis I knew something was wrong. As wrong as it was, I pretty much diagnosed him myself before he made his way to a doctor.We struggled a lot through the period of his illness, when it was not supervised by someone who knew more about it than us, and before the right medication and the right dosage of it was prescribed.He refused to talk to me about it, and I did not understand what he was going through.There is plenty of books about bipolar disorder which cover the illness from the official medical point of view (causes, symptoms, treatments). I had read plenty of them and I just felt like I was reading the same information over and over again, but I was not getting the answers to my questions.This book gave me what I was looking for. It helped me understand what my husband was feeling and why he acted the way he acted. It helped me see that the crazy and hurtful things were not him, but the illness. It helped me position myself differently and respond differently to his unreasonable acts. Last but not least, it helped me communicate with him better and ask the right questions.I really think that this book contributed a great deal to my now peaceful household and to my husband opening up to me about his struggles with the illness. I am not sure whether we would be where we are today if I did not read it.

    Beyond talented writer - best book ever written on bipolar disorder!
  

*by C***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2016*

I am in love with Mayra Hornbacher. I read her book Wasted in college and was blown away. And she does it again in Madness. She is seriously a genius. Mental illness is so difficult to write about and there are so few books that come even close to capturing it - this book is the best that I've read on Bipolar. Further, Hornbacher wrote it while at the same time going through it. I am so impressed by her; I don't know how she did it. I got my masters in writing and I would be beyond thrilled if I could be half as good a writer as she is. This is an amazing book - I would recommend it to anyone who is bipolar, who knows someone bipolar, or who just wants to read an incredible memoir. And I would recommend reading Wasted as well - and read it first. Seriously, I would give this 6 stars if I could!

    Powerfully Compelling
  

*by N***4 on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2015*

I had to read this memoir in small chunks that I could handle over several days. I have never been caught up in such a wild storm of anguish and terror. I found myself alternately hyper, tense, shaky, queasy, and so very sad. My own bouts with depression since childhood are nothing but drops in the ocean compared to the painful horrors this lovely woman has endured. The memoir is the most frightening carnival ride I have ever been on, and of course it will probably never completely end for her. My heart is broken for her and her loved ones as they deal with this monster day after day, never knowing when it is going to strike again.I also thank her for sharing this story so far; I feel that I at least understand more about it, and can recognize it and connect with compassion and sympathy when dealing with others who have this disorder. I hope for her sake, and for the sake of millions of others like her, that the insurance companies do much more to provide better treatment options and medications, and make them affordable to everyone. I wish her all the luck in the world, and God's help, to live a comfortable, happy life. You know, we know these wonderful people, and some of them are us.
