A Book of Light: When a Loved One Has a Different Mind by Jerry Pinto

5.0

It is a unique memoir of its kind.. mental illness is not a topic constantly discussed openly or even acknowledged openly, despite the modern scenario, where we are yet to learn to be accepting about it as it has been in the West.... after all the habits and practises that we pursue now.

It revolves around depression,bipolar disorder and even unexplained suicide... each story a true incident narrated by a relative or spouse...

The compilations are short and thought provoking... that it did make me think twice about every person’s attitude to a relative with mental illness...
