Non-Fiction Memoir
On the surface, Terri Cheney was a highly successful,
attractive lawyer. But behind her great job, great looks,
and enviable love life lay a secret — she had been
struggling with debilitating manic depression for years.
From Cheney's multiple suicide attempts, near-death
experiences, nights in jail, sexual exploits, broken jobs
and friendships, to her life-saving electroshock treatment,
Manic is her story — an insider's view of manic depression,
and the roller-coaster-ride tale of a life lived in
extremes. One minute the author is crouched beneath her desk
in her Beverly Hills law firm, paralyzed by depression; the
next she is flying kites off the edge of a cliff in Big Sur,
in a violent thunderstorm. One minute she's overdosing on
painkillers and tequila, the next she's falling in love.
With manic depression and in Terri Cheney's life, there was
no way to know what was coming next.
