reviewed Bipolar expeditions on September 19, 2007 Bipolar expeditions
I especially recommend this book for anybody who has bipolar disorder or knows somebody close to them struggling with this disorder. Emily Martin has really chosen a personal topic this time. She reveals her own struggles with bipolar disorder and her search for medication. She spent years interviewing people with this disorder, visiting support groups and even interviewing pharmaceutical advertising execs. However what is really interesting about this book is Martin's ability to track mania as a cultural object throughout history. She shows how mania has been associated with femininity and masculinity in Western culture. She also asks why mania is often cast as a desirable form of creative productivity in the contemporary business world. Finally, she starts to show through interviews with real people how these cultural ideals can actually be troublesome for those who suffer from this disease.
