Hello everyone,

I am getting my masters in affective disorders and I’m especially interested in bipolar disorder. I am interested in individual experiences of people diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I read textbooks, studies and other formal writings. However, I believe I lack a deeper, less clinical understanding. That being said, I think music is a way to attempt to understand on a more personal level.

What songs would you say capture having this illness? Or even the illness itself? 

I would also be interested in books that you believe are relevant. I’ve read Unquiet Minds and was blown away. The personal anecdotes help me understand on a whole other level. 

Thank you!
