La Belleza de la Locura
Description:
A deep and brutally intimate conversation that looks head-on at a mental illness that affects millions of people around the world: bipolar disorder. Many people with bipolar disorder are not always able to talk about it because they have not been properly diagnosed, they have fears that prevent them from expressing themselves, or they do not have the necessary tools to obtain professional help. Here, however, that veil of silence is lifted. Catalina Gallo and Maribel Abello Banfi have written a frank and enlightening book in which they discuss what it has been like for them to live with bipolar disorder. More than definitive answers, they present us with questions about the relationship between mental health and science, art, spirituality, motherhood, being a woman and, why not, social media. A powerful testimony from two friends who have faced the disease and along the way have managed to share together the joy of being alive, to show that it is possible to find beauty even in the darkest moments.
