Kay Redfield Jamison: Surviving Bipolar Disorder

Psychiatry professor and clinical psychologist Kay Redfield Jamison knows all about bipolar disorder—from the inside out. A patient herself, she is a nationally recognized expert on that condition at Johns Hopkins University, shining light into the darkest and most frightening corners of her life for the benefit of medical science. In this ABC News program, Dr. Jamison—a MacArthur Fellow and author of An Unquiet Mind, her best-selling memoir, and Night Falls Fast, her critically acclaimed book on suicide—talks frankly about her experiences with a mental illness that almost claimed her life.
