Michael Greenberg's brilliant and mesmerizing memoir of his daughter's madness is a poignant and terrifying book about the depths and peaks of mania and the desperate struggle that a loved one will go to in order to bring someone back from the world of psychosis.When Greenberg's daughter, Sally, first becomes psychotic, he thinks it is more her creativity than anything else. He is slow to recognize her manic state. But then, who would first assume that someone they love has gone to a place of madness. "But how does one tell the difference between Plato's "divine madness" and gibberish? Between enthousiasmos (literally, to be inspired by a god) and lunacy? Between the prophet and the "medically mad"."A long journey ensues for Sally and her familiy: hospitalization, horrendous pharmacological interventions, psychiatric care, day hospitals, regimens for behavioral therapy and behavioral contracts. The medications make her weary and unable to concentrate. She becomes sluggish and unlike her quick and creative self. Her father decides to try the medication to get an idea of what it is doing to Sally. He says, "It begins to hit me - - in waves. I feel dizzy and far away, as if I am about to fall from a great height but my feet are nailed to the edge of the precipice, so that the rush of the fall itself is indefinitely deferred. The air feels watery and thick, until finally I am neck-deep in a swamp through which it is possible to move only with the greatest of effort, and then only a few feet at a time". Such is the state that his daughter is in with the medicine. Without it, however, she is mad.Her identity becomes obscured. Who is this beloved daughter? How did she get to the state she is in? "I keep asking myself the obvious question, the helpless question. How did this happen? And why? One has cancer or AIDS, but one is schizophrenic, one is manic depressive, as if they were innate attributes of being, part of the human spectrum, no more curable than one's temperament or the color of one's eyes." The author struggles with how to view his beloved Sally, how to separate her from her disease, how to separate himself from her disease.The book is peopled by interesting characters. There is Steve, the author's mentally ill brother for whom he is caretaker. There is a family of Hasidic Jews in the Psychiatric unit, looking over and caring for one of their own. There is the author's wife, a dancer and choreographer who loves Sally very much. There is Sally's biological mother, the author's ex-wife, who is paralyzed with fear at Sally's illness and first hopes that some homeopathic remedies will make a difference. There is the author's well-dressed and lovely mother who searches her past to assure the author that Sally is not, absolutely is not, like his brother Steve.Sally eventually reaches an equilibrium of recovery and remission from her manic depression. She is able to return to school though she is fearful and reticent about her history as a "mental patient". The story has no happy ending, as the disease does not just disappear. It may hide for a while but it is ever present. Sally has a lifetime of heavy-duty medications and psychiatric interventions in order for her to maintain a semblance of normalcy. She is forever in the grips of the mental health system, a system not always user friendly to families and loved ones.The author paints a realistic and painful picture of what mental illness in a family can do to the victim and her loved ones. It is a powerful picture, one that is not soon to be forgotten. Anyone who has every dealt with mental illness or has an interest in it will be enriched by this book. It is a must-read for any person who loves someone who is mentally ill or is touched by mental illness in any way. This means all of us.Bonnie Brody
Good read. I have no experience at all with mental illness, thank God, so I picked this story out of curiosity. The way Sally's father describes her before her breakdown made her sound like a brat. Her strength, however, in the face of a lifelong battle with serious illness, leaves me hoping for her very best life.
This is a well-written, first-hand account of a teenage girl's mental breakdown and painful recovery, as seen through the eyes of her father. For those interested in the topic of mental health, this is a page-turner. I read it from beginning to end in one day. It's a raw an honest look at one family's experience with mental illness and the process of denial, shame and finally, acquiescence, to a disease they were unfamiliar with.I would have liked to have understood more about the days/weeks/months leading up to the daughter's final "snap." But overall, the story is fascinating, if not heartbreaking. Readers who enjoyed "An Unquiet Mind" will enjoy Hurry Down Sunshine.
A memoir written as experienced by the author a blunt, yet vividly told story of the role loved ones play when someone close to them learns to live with psychosis. Greenberg allows the readers the opportunity to view from the perspective of a fly on the wall.
The book opens with the author's daughter going "mad". Caught in a fit of mania, she's admitted to the psych ward in NYC. Her father, stepmother, mother, brother, and grandmother all approach her mania differently, but her father is the most perplexed by it and therefore driven to try to understand it.Previously Sally was a vibrant, creative teenager who one day, seems to lose it completely. After she's admitted to the hospital and her family begins learning about her illness (she's eventually diagnosed with bipolar disorder) they begin to see the signs they missed, before her mania spun so far out of control.If anyone has had any experience with bipolar disorder, this is an interesting read without being overly medical or clinical.
