	Jamison, Kay Redfield: An Unquiet Mind (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Jamison describes the manifestations of her illness, her initial denial and resistance to treatment with medication, attempted suicide, and her struggle to maintain an active professional and satisfying personal life.
		Jamison eventually, through strong support from friends and colleagues, excellent psychiatric care, and her own acceptance of illness, has been able to reach a state of relative equilibrium--tolerable levels of medication (fewer side effects) and dampened mood swings.
		Jamison's paradoxical struggle to deny her own illness and avoid drug therapy is not uncommon among medical professionals.

	The My Hero Project - Dr. Kay JamisonKay_Jamison
		Kay Redfield Jamison is as much a hero for her work and accomplishments, as she is for the tribulations she has endured while achieving them.
		While Jamison’s work had been on the shelves and in the study curriculums of doctors worldwide, it was not publicly known that she was as much a doctor of psychiatry, as a patient.
		What makes Jamison’s story so unique and heroic is not only her perseverance and her ability to overcome her tribulations, but her desire and capacity for reaching out to others in the process.

	EDN: Kay Redfield Jamison: An Unquiet Mind
		Kay Redfield Jamison has written a number of books that explore the ravages of mental illness.
		Jamison's lifelong learning was inspired by what she refers to as "a fascinating, albeit deadly, enemy and companion." Today we refer to this type of illness as bipolar disorder, a complicated and pervasive attack on an individual's mind, body and spirit.
		Jamison clearly had a rare form of courage to face her own mystery and said yes to her adventure (perhaps horror is a better word than adventure in this case).

	Diagnosis and treatment of bipolar disorder
		Jamison, professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and author of "An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness" and "Night Falls Fast: Understanding Suicide," detailed what is known, and what psychologists are still learning, about bipolar illness.
		According to Jamison, gathering a patient's family history is extremely important in deriving the right diagnosis, but as the story of the 8-year-old boy illustrates, it is still sometimes neglected.
		Jamison said that the most common diagnosing error in bipolar illness is to miss one of the forms of mania or irritability and to assume the child has major depression rather than bipolar illness.

		For more than three decades, Dr. Jamison has lived with this "quicksilver" illness, with its mercurial moods, and with its "peculiar kind of pain, elation, loneliness, and terror." No reader will be untouched by her memoir, which is inarguably one of the most powerful, insightful, and eloquent depictions of life with this illness.
		Dr. Jamison is professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and coauthor of the standard medical text on manic-depressive illness.
		Jamison also shares her deep resistance to relinquishing the exhilarating highs of the illness--"the intensity, glory, and absolute assuredness of my mind's flight"--for a life that seemed restrictive, less productive, and "maddeningly less intoxicating." Ultimately, she made peace with lithium only when it was clear that the alternatives were death or insanity.
