Samantha is stamped with a ‘bipolar’ label that becomes the trajectory
for her tortured existence. For the next three decades she will wind
through a maze of anguished suffering, accompanied by memoryeffacing
medical interventions in the form of electroconvulsive
therapies, heaps of pills and repellent hallucinations. As her helpless
family and loved ones watch, often in terror, Samantha yo-yos between
acceptance and denial of her diagnosis. Time and again believing she
is well, she plummets into the devastating chasm of her illness.
Through a series of enlightening encounters and hard-fought-for
realisations, she finally manages to transform herself. Acceptance
finds its breath, and so does she. Today Samantha lives an inspiring
life reclaimed.
Life Interrupted is a deeply compelling memoir that brilliantly humanises
the sufferer beyond the label. It is groundbreaking in the way
the author shares the horrors of psychosis and unbounded mania, the
fears of depression and the emergence of recovery. This book will not
only appeal to the over four million people diagnosed with bipolar in
South Africa, but to the millions of people who are affected by loved
ones with bipolar, as well as to everyone who reads it.
