Can You Hear the Music?: My Journey Through Madness - 6751

When an Academic’s Brain Becomes her Worst Enemy–A Mental Health Memoir Ann Jeffers has it all–a devoted partner, a child who adores her, and a successful career as a tenure-track professor at the University of Michigan. But when she is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she can’t help but feel she is losing her most valuable asset: her mind. The bipolar disorder is complicated by the trauma she carries from the Virginia Tech shooting, resulting in a perfect nightmare each time she steps foot in the classroom. Ann embarks on a journey in search of the right medications and therapy, holding on to the hope that something will help her feel like herself again. But despite her best efforts, she suffers debilitating depressions and dangerously high manias peppered with delusions and hallucinations. In a race against time, Ann strives to attain stability before her illness consumes her. Can You Hear the Music? is a story of perseverance and love, and it highlights the healing that can take place when the stigma of mental illness is overcome. Named a Must-Read Book on Bipolar Disorder by bpHope.
