Ruth Manning’s journey has been an emotional rollercoaster. Her book is written to exemplify how success, failure, mania, and psychosis can occur in tandem.

Mom, thank you for sharing your life’s story. I’m proud of you.

‘A deeply personal and informative book’

 When Brilliance and Madness Collide offers a unique perspective by bringing the reader inside the head of a person experiencing mania, paranoia, and psychosis.

 It’s almost as if the mind in a psychotic state taps into the person's childhood sense of reality, when make-believe could feel real, before the child’s sense of “concrete reality” was fully formed.

I laughed out loud, I teared up…and I learned a lot.
