Leading by Example
I greatly admire Jamison's courage to write about her own experience with manic depression and to open up about many personal hardships she's faced through out her life. Often those suffering from manic depression will not talk about how they are feeling for fear that they will be labeled as crazy by society. Jamison offers solace to those suffering from this illness and shows through her life that it's okay to open up and ask for help. She shows that there are many medication such as lithium and different kinds of therapies that can help keep a manic depressive's life in check. She shows through her own life that manic depression is not the end of one's professional or social life and that ultimatly life will go on for those suffering this illness.
