"A glimpse into the life of a vivacious young woman whose brilliant mind is caught in the ebbs and flows of her mental illness. The true story of a spirited young woman whose brilliant mind is caught in the grip of mental illness, known as bipolar disorder. In constant flux between transient euphoria and utter despair, Camille attempts to decode her mind and treat her illness. However, she discovers that the will of the patient is not always enough to cure the ills of the mind, and the only way she can find a semblance of peace is when surrounded and supported...if not understood. It is this compassion which allows her to stay anchored in life, a buoy ebbing and flowing with the ocean. STATES OF MIND's strength is in its unabashed and unapologetic account of the destruction and desolation that the disorder causes, but more importantly, the beautiful humanity and compassion that blossom in its wake."--Publisher's website.

Another complicating factor is her relationship with her father. In the book, as in real life, daughter and father work on a book of her life story together. At various points in the book, the author's stand-in seems to have second thoughts about doing the project and outright states that she is excluding events that she fears would make her look bad. Until the conclusion, the father is shown as relatively detached from her mental health journey but does pressure her to turn in script pages when she has her doubts. I wonder about their co-author dynamic and how it affected the final product.
With its air of a journal, the book gets a little to random at times with friends and relatives popping in and out with little development, but in the end, I liked the trains of thought the book inspired in me about my own attitudes toward mental health issues. ( )
