ESSAY ON: Styron & Jamison on Depression

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page book review that compares 2 autobiographical texts on depression. William Styron (Darkness Visible, 1990) and Kay Redfield Jamison (An Unquiet Mind, 1997) have written detailed autobiographical accounts of their experiences with mental illness. Styron, a noted author, at the age of sixty found himself plunged into despair by pathological depression. Jamison, a noted psychiatrist, records how she was plagued by bipolar disorder throughout her life. In both texts, these authors relate first-hand accounts that give the details of the internal and external ramifications of their disease. In so doing, they provide the reader with accounts that have profound sociological and psychological effects by accurately describing what it is like to experience these mental disorders. No additional sources cited.
