Book written in 1950’s, 60’s I think. But remotely possible published as late as 70’s, 80’s. Autobiography (?) by woman (maybe named “Diane”, not sure…?) who suffered schizophrenia (I think, or some sort of mental illness) and became an M.D. despite this.
Probably a U.S. book, but not sure. English language, anyway.
Probably published too recently, but could it be Kay Redfield Jamison: An Unquiet Mind, published 1995? The author has bipolar disorder and became a professor of psychiatry.
Thanks for the feedback, I think it is an older book, but I will check it out, sounds great! Thank you!
