When a small vial arrives in her mailbox from "Lewis Carroll," Ayelet Waldman is at a low point. Her mood storms have become intolerably severe; she has tried nearly every medication possible; her husband and children are suffering with her. So she opens the vial, places two drops on her tongue, and joins the ranks of an underground but increasingly vocal group of scientists and civilians successfully using therapeutic microdoses of LSD. As Waldman charts her experience over the course of a month--bursts of productivity, sleepless nights, a newfound sense of equanimity--she also explores the history and mythology of LSD, the cutting-edge research into the drug, and the byzantine policies that control it. Drawing on her experience as a federal public defender, and as the mother of teenagers, and her research into the therapeutic value of psychedelics, Waldman has produced a book that is eye-opening, often hilarious, and utterly enthralling"--Provided by publisher."In an effort to treat a debilitating mood disorder, Ayelet Waldman undertook a very private experiment, ingesting 10 micrograms of LSD every three days for a month. This is the story--by turns revealing, courageous, fascinating and funny--of her quietly psychedelic spring, her quest to understand one of our most feared drugs, and her search for a really good day"--Provided by publisher.People with bipolar disorderBiographyBipolar disorderTreatmentDepressed personsNew YorkBiographyHallucinogenic drugsTherapeutic useBipolar disorderBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal MemoirsbisacshMEDICAL / Mental HealthbisacshPSYCHOLOGY / NeuropsychologybisacshPeople with bipolar disorderBipolar disorderTreatment.Depressed personsHallucinogenic drugsTherapeutic use.Bipolar disorder.BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs.MEDICAL / Mental Health.PSYCHOLOGY / Neuropsychology.615.7883BIO026000MED102000PSY020000bisacshWaldman Ayelet568468MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910156238403321A Really Good Day2593533UNINA
