Just read this and Dr. Erin Stair's Manic Kingdom, which is more of a novel than a memoir. Both offer very different insights into the "unsettled" mind. Erin embraces ambiguity & uncertainty around diagnosing and cures,whereas Terri never really questions conventional diagnosing, etc. Both great reads. I enjoyed this for being a gripp memoir. Loved Erin's for being more of a novel that pulls you in. Anyone read both?
