She was going to stab her doctor, but she wrote a book instead.

Years later, Willa Goodfellow revisits this account of her antidepressant-induced hypomania that hijacked a Costa Rican vacation and tells the rest of the story: the wrong medications, an overlooked diagnosis of Bipolar 2, and finally a path to recovery.

Prozac Monologues: A Voice from the Edge is a book within a book, part memoir of misdiagnosis and part self-help guide about the bipolar spectrum. This edgy and comedic collection of essays offers information about a mood disorder frequently mistaken for Major Depression as well as resources for recovery and further study. Plus, Costa Rica.

• If your depression keeps coming back . . . • If your antidepressant side effects are dreadful . . . • If you are curious about the bipolar spectrum . . . • If you want ideas for recovery from mental illness . . . • If you care for somebody who might have more than depression . . .

. . . then she wrote this for you.
