Brain On Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan
A story of how a sudden and mysterious illness put her on descent into a madness for which there seemed to be no cure. It is also the story of how one brilliant man, Syria-born Dr Najar, finally proved - using a simple pen and paper - that Susannah's psychotic behaviour was caused by a rare autoimmune disease attacking her brain.
With eagle-eye precision and brutal honesty, Susannah Cahalan turns her journalistic gaze on herself as she bravely looks back on one of the most harrowing and unimaginable experiences one could ever face: the loss of mind, body and self.. a mesmerizing story -- Mira Bartók, New York Times bestselling author of 'The Memory Palace'
