I found "Discombobulated" to be a very heartbreaking and yet inspiring story of the author's experience with mental illness. It was wonderfully written and literally takes a person inside the head of the author. This book should be read by anyone whose life has been touched by mental illness in any way.

Discombomulated is a powerful story of one woman's experience with mental illiness. Commentary by the therapist which parallels the author's perception of therapy is very insightful. This well written book provides a realistic portrait of life with mental illiness.

Discombobulated is a compelling read. The journal entries the author uses to show her decline into mental illness gives the reader an insightful view of the internal workings of the mind in such a decline, as compared to the external appearance of a person experiencing such. The reader is both shown (through the journal entries) and told (in retrospect) of the descent into and ascension from mental illness. Ms. Compton's descriptions are vivid, and her recounting is heartfelt.
