The first inkling my husband had that I was thinking about suicide was when he checked my blog.

That connection between hormones and mood is so important to get a handle on, and it's also really important when you're considering taking medication.

My father is sure that Israel keeps the Holocaust from happening again. I worry that it might hasten its recurrence.

I've only ever been interested in drugs as therapeutic tools.

Yes, I have four children. Four children with whom I spend a good part of every day: bathing them, combing their hair, sitting with them while they do their homework, holding them while they weep their tragic tears. But I'm not in love with any of them. I am in love with my husband.

I wrote three novels in six months, with a clarity of focus and attention to detail that I had never before experienced. This type of sublime creative energy is characteristic of the elevated and productive mood state known as hypomania.

In fact if I see you drinking I'll come down on you like a ton of bricks and call your mom.
