This is not just another book about bipolar and depression. This is a no-punches-pulled, game-changing book that aims to do the virtually impossible — put the reader inside the head of a bipolar brain. In this book is Natasha Tracy’s traditional, politically incorrect writing style combined with new ideas and new ways of looking at mental illness.

More on ‘Lost Marbles’

This is a new book with a new perspective on depression and bipolar disorder. It straddles the divide between a self-help book and a memoir. This means it aims to help people live better through sharing my story and also through real-world steps people can take to improve their daily lives. These steps are action-oriented — in other words, you will come away from many sections with actions you can actually take to make your life better. Other sections aim to elucidate bipolar and depression issues that, typically, no one talks about.
