Brilliant, Beautiful, Bipolar is an autobiographical account of former physician Liz Casper's diagnosis of and treatment for bipolar disorder. In this first book, Casper chronicles her unique experience as her world fell apart while trying to start a new life for herself in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Buoyed by the endless future opportunities and possibilities, combined with her limitless energy, Casper was unaware there was a far more sinister side to her life that would soon surface. Through her gut-wrenching and honest account of her life, Casper gives us an unusual insight into the mind of an actively manic, albeit brilliant mind; and the devastation that can occur along the way. As is common, Casper rejected the diagnosis until it became too great to ignore, her losses too deep, her pain too great to continue. This fast-paced story will leave you with jaw-dropping moments, brutally honest storytelling, and ultimate inspiration for anyone experiencing a mental health crisis. Casper's account gives deep insight and hope to anyone suffering from any medical illness. Her book - filled with contemporary relevance - will leave you wanting more of her life stories; more of her revealing and highly entertaining prose; and more of her much-needed, sage advice.
