No One Taught Me the Human Side of Islam: The Muslim Hippie's Story of Living with Bipolar Disorder

I finished reading this work in a few hours and was totally taken by the breath of its expansive treatment of emotions, that tend to define emotional dis-orders, re: bi-polar disorderThere are 3 distinct themes that are at first handled seperately, the celebrity status of a Convert and the diagnosis with bi-polar disorder, and her being african AmericanWhen these two seas (Convert and Mental Health) merge, we see a fall from grace from within the Community. The sister was and always maintained an affiliation with the "Faith Community", so strongly felt that it sustained her for a long time.Once the revelation of bi-polar was made public, the sister Community turns her back on the sister. This the most tragic and yet defining moment, for it lends to her balancing her bi-polar condition and participation within the Community.I would share this work with resident Scholars at mosques, because the quadrangle of gender, color, mental health and an Immigrant desi and arab Community converge.It is refreshing to read of her perspective on bi-polar while anchoring it with her own sense of Spirituality, which sustanied and continued to sustain her.It is a tragic work but there is hope that emerges from within, taking responsibility, of reminding herself of the bond with God, and that she is in-evitably responsibile for her actions and deeds.
