Book Description

December 1, 2007
Millions of Americans suffer with some type of mental health disorder. Even in our sophisticated society, these issues are still spoken about in whispered tones.

Marlene Russell Lovejoy relates her experiences and reveals the horrifying labyrinths of a disturbed mind. As bouts of darkness and hopelessness lead to panic, fear and thoughts of suicide, she continually questions her sanity. Even her deep faith in God cannot suppress the abrupt switch to mania and the impending fear of entering a mental institution.

Marlene's honest and straightforward journal, EDGE OF SANITY: Journal of Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Beyond, speaks to people in everyday language about mental health disorders. She sheds new light on what it is like to live with a serious disorder, and how she manages her syptoms through medication, diet, prayer, exercise, and therapy. Her purposeful intent is to dispel any misconceptions that remain about these topics and promote openenss and acceptance.
