It’s also clear that Cahalan is, by trade, a writer. It's a must-read! Click To TweetĪs brutal as this book is (which I happened to start on March 16, the day she entered the hospital in 2009), the fact that she was able to write it is an indication that it has a happy ending. #BrainonFire is the fascinating story of one woman's lost month of madness. The result is an incredible story that is impossible to put down. From paranoia, seizures, hospitalization, hallucinations, and short-term memory loss to the misdiagnoses and road to recovery, she holds nothing back. Because she has no memory of her experience, she has reconstructed in her memoir her lost month by relying on videotapes, journals, and interviews with friends, family, and doctors. “No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.” Aristotleīrain on Fire: My Month of Madness is the fascinating story of Cahalan’s journey to hell and back.
