Very interesting.
A young girl who works for the New York Post starts having very strange symptoms. She has seizures and nausea with vomiting and hallucinations. The doctors at first think that it's a classic sign of alcohol deprivation and tell her to stop partying. But with the aid of her parents she gets into a hospital where they diagnose her with everything from depression to schizophrenia and autism. A month later and countless tests both mental and physical finally help her and the doctors to distinguish the problem. But can poor Susannah Cahalan survive her month of madness? Wow what a journey! What does poor girl had to go through is completely astonishing. After all that she not only survived but got better. Most other people would not have survived her ordeal. This book was written as a memoir. Whether well-thought-out or not it is very well put together in a way that the reader can understand the madness that Susannah descends into. This book is definitely a wild ride. The end is both tragic and happy. It is interesting for me to look into the human nature of people and how they react to certain situations regarding their friends and acquaintances. Great book! I highly recommend it!
