As a companion read to rel="nofollow" target="_top">Too Bright To Hear, Too Loud To See, a recently released novel by Juliann Garey featuring a character who is bipolar (also an excellent read), this was good to read to gain further understanding of how individual the experience of being bipolar can be, while confirming the dire statistics associated with untreated illness and the difficulty of treating it. Lithium, the best med for treatment, has serious side effects such as drastically impaired short term memory and inability to think clearly. In Garey's novel lithium was the only med given attention, but as Forney's memoir talks about, a highly individualized cocktail of meds is the ultimate goal, and it can take years of trying different ones and adjusting dosages to get the patient balanced. In Forney's case, this took 4 years. Certainly makes me grateful for my one med I take that works great and is the only one I've ever had to try (not for being bipolar, obviously)!
