INTACT
Starkly honest, Intact: Untangle the Web of Bipolar Depression, Addiction, and Trauma combines memoir, interviews, tips for fighting depression, poetry, and dark humor.
Between the ages of 18 and 26, author Sasha Kildare’s summers became drugs, sex, psychosis, and psych wards. During manic episodes, she ended up in handcuffs and was raped several times. The integrative treatment she received at Bellevue Hospital, her seventh hospitalization, broke that cycle. She shares her compelling story, the knowledge, and insight that allowed her to overcome buried childhood trauma and addiction so that she could experience, motherhood, fulfilling careers, and long-term remission from bipolar depression.
“Compelling. As well as sharing her journey from the depths of psychosis to leading a healthy, productive life, Kildare spells out the many tools she uses to manage the symptoms of bipolar depression.”
