Editorial Reviews: Product Description "Mind Gone Awry," describes the first signs of the author's bipolar disorder. It discusses his resistance to facing what was happening to him, to ultimately accepting that he had a mental illness. Finally seeking and accepting help, Donald Kern underscores the case for psychiatric intervention and medication, as well as psychological support. "Mind Gone Awry," is an intimate story of how he coped with mental illness. It is not a guide, but rather the story of a 24-year journey from psychosis to health. From the author's story, the reader will learn tips on coping with mental illness. Donald Kern is a psychotherapist who also has bipolar disorder.

Customer Reviews: My Bipolar Journey May 18, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful "Mind Gone Awry" is the autobiography of an ordinary person. It is my story. It is your story if you have bipolar disorder (Type I). Unfortunately, this does not make it a page-turner. You'll have to skip through a lot of humdrum details of ordinary life. The book will help you identify, and identify with, the symptoms of bipolar disorder. It will also give you hope. Here is someone who struggled with the beast and prevailed and that struggle is recorded in detail. The author is not a natural storyteller but he does tell the story of his life bravely and without glossing over the painful incidents of mania in particular, but also mental hospital, depression, loss of self-esteem and the long journey to coping successfully with bipolar disorder. From the Inside Out March 29, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful "BiPolar Disorder" is a mystery, a catch-all term that overs a myriad of symptoms lumped together in the public's mind. Here is a book that is written from the inside out, by a long-time sufferer who has battled his way through the disease and gained a clinician's knowledge as part of the journey. It is a riveting account of a mind that has declared war on its possessor, and the unsteady truce that the author's force of will has imposed on it. Powerful and rewarding, the book claims no complete and absolute victory, chronicles the ongoing battle, and allows the reader to catch a glimpse of what a bipolar patient experiences. This is not a book by a journalist, sleek and glossy and academic, but an honest, enthralling, personalized account. It is more than worth reading!!! Mind Gone Awry March 26, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful I read this book, not being someone with a biplar condition, but to better understand those I know who are struggling with this problem. It shows both objective and subjective points of view that give frank personal experiences of bipolar behavior and the ultimate success of recovery. Mr. Kern's writing style gives the reader the sensual feelings of being there - not only during his bipolar experiences, but especially in the physical settings of his story. He doesn't soften the blow of being bipolar, but at the novel's conclusion one sees the positive result of someone trying to overcome it. I definaely would recommend this book to readers with bipolar personalities and those who love them.
