Before the chapters, before the clinical language, before any of the hard-won insight — there is this. Jeremy Davis introduces himself not as an expert, but as someone who has been on both sides of this illness: the professional who has sat across from patients in their worst moments, and the patient who has lived through his own. This is where the book begins. It begins with the truth.

Jeremy Davis spent years living with bipolar disorder before he understood what it was actually doing to him. This is the roadmap of the book he wished had existed — eighteen chapters that move from diagnosis through the ten personas bipolar can wear, all the way to what it looks like to build a life that holds. Raw, clinical where it needs to be, and honest all the way through.
