Die Welt Im Rücken by Melle Thomas

A searing autobiographical account of living with bipolar disorder that traces manic highs, crushing depressions, hospitalizations and the slow work of piecing a self back together. Using raw, often lyrical language, the narrative examines how illness alters perception and identity, the struggle to communicate experiences of psychosis, and the complexities of psychiatric treatment and social stigma, ultimately offering an unflinching reflection on vulnerability, recovery and the limits of language.
