A literary memoir evoking a first-hand experience of manic depression and the painful road to recovery.

'There are galaxies within the human mind, and madness wants to risk everything for the daring flight, reckless and beautiful and crazed . . . '

Tristimania is Jay Griffiths' story of a devastating year-long episode of manic depression. A profound exploration of a condition that is at once terrifying and also deeply creative, both tricking and treating the psyche, hers is a journey headlong into the heart of art and madness.
