kay jamison is not only an excellent writer & psychologist but she also knows personallly the pain of mental disease. maybe this is the reason why she writes with such enthusiasm & warmth about bipolar writers, poets, musicians & other artists & it seems she is saying to us who struggle with manicdepression that there is something precious inside alll of us even though we may never be world class artists. touched with fire is one of the books i always come back to since i find its message comforting. madness is pain but it is also a very strange gift.
