An international authority and researcher on mood disorders, Kay Redfield Jamison has unique insight into the world of mental illness. In 1995, as Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University, she shocked her colleagues by going public with her personal struggle with manic-depression in a Washington Post article and subsequent bestselling book, An Unquiet Mind. In Nothing Was the Same, Jamison tells the story of her husband's slow surrender to cancer and meditates on morality, grief, and loss.
