SIGNED BY JOY S. McDIARMID on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This book weaves Joy's experiences along primitive frontiers of treatment for bipolar disorders and dramas of shock therapy in psychiatric wards, where entire years of Joy's life would slip by even as earlier years were being erased from her memory, with triumphant accomplishments in her competitive world of advertising, university work, private enterprise, photography and travel. Such juxtaposed experiences of defiant courage, supplemented with medical commentary by Joy's psychiatrist, Dr. Edye, make this book a rare roadmap to life.
