book review

I first borrowed this book from my public library. I was captivated by the author's descriptions and impressions of her mental illness (manic-depression aka bipolar) and the toll it takes on one's life and those around them. The book gives the reader a first-hand glimpse into their world, helping those of us not afflicted by this disorder better understand how debilitating and de-humanizing it is,and the constant struggle they live with.

Truly inspirational, especially to those who suffer from bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder is a strange disorder, both to psychological professionals and its sufferers. "Remains of a Cloud" is Ruth Cohen's battle with her own bipolar disorder, drawing on her life experience. Ranging from her constant misdiagnosis from several psychiatric professionals, to her fight for her life against herself, Ruth embarks on a spiritual journey to find happiness and realize her own true worth in spite of her bipolar disorder. "Remains of a Cloud" is truly inspirational, especially to those who suffer from bipolar disorder as well.
