This book is a touchingly honest account the author's mental illness and the toll it takes on her life. Mixed in with that is her account of serious medical illness and the toll that takes on her life. I was particularly touched by the line, "When you have cancer people send flowers. When you lose your mind; they don't." I appreciate that Elyn R. Saks is courageous enough to reveal her experience and soul to the world. She presents it in such a way that it almost seems she couldn't possibly be mentally ill because her description of her disorganized thoughts is so, well, organized. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about mental illness. I would recommend it to anyone suffering from mental illness. This book gave me hope and inspiration to find my life.Get more detail about The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness.
