Dear All:
(This is a copy of a message I just posted to PsychoSocial Babble -- I felt readers on this board often do not read the other board, and would perhaps like to know... Sorry, Bob, if this is a problem.)
Today, Kay Redfield Jamison has won, along with 22 other recipients, the most prestigious award in the humanities and sciences, the MacArthur Foundation "Genius" grant. The award is for $500,000 over the next five years.

Her success means so much to me, and I think perhaps to many other sufferers of depression and bipolar illnesses, here on PSB and PBabble, who have read her work, and who respect her a great deal. She has published scientific articles, a memoir of her bipolar illness, and a new book on suicide. She is a psychiatrist at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and is 55 years old. Her contributions to the understanding of the illnesses we suffer from, and her courage and intelligence, are an inspiration. What an impressive woman!
ever yours,
Wendy

Wendy - Right on! She is an incredible inspiration to anyone with a mental disorder of any kind. Actually, she is an inspiration to everyone. I frequently quote her in my presentations. - Cam

Thank you for posting this Wendy, I remember when I read her textbook on Manic Depression I cried with the realization that this is what I had, and when I read her other books I realized that despite the severity of symptoms I share with her, what an amazing inspiration she is to beating this illness. Take care, Judy

It's not a big deal, but I do think it would be more appropriate for this thread to continue there:

Thanks,
