An understanding of mental illness, Jun 25 2004
This review is from: HELP ME (REAL LIFE ) (Paperback)
At first it seems that Karen is just a normal girl going thru the "teen phase". But then she starts getting into trouble with teachers, friends, and at home due to her extreme mood swings.
When her mother overdoses on pills, Karen finds out that manic depression runs in her family and realizes that she's not crazy.
The POV from Karen's prospective shines new light on mental illness and proves that no matter what some people believe, you just cannot control extreme emotions by yourself and it's ok to ask for help.
