Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison, author of Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament, a bestselling book on bipolar disorder, has agreed to blurb the book.
This frank and honest memoir charts Charita's personal struggle with bipolar disorder. Readers will appreciate her candor as she details triumphs and setbacks on the road to recovery.
African Americans are 20% more likely to experience mental illness than the general population, but are also least likely to seek treatment. Yet many mental illness memoirs are accounts of expensive medical facilities and medications, as well as the loss of privilege (ruined high-powered careers, foreclosed houses, bankruptcy, etc.); indeed, there are fewer books about mental illness written by African Americans.
Charita is involved with the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and will be presenting at conferences throughout 2017.
