Madness and Sanity

Barbara Lipska is the world's top brain scientist, who has long focused on the study of mental illness. However, fate played a big joke on her: she went crazy. She developed 18 tumors in her brain, developed delusions, hallucinations and other symptoms, and fell into the abyss of madness step by step. She became devoid of empathy and acted strangely, even though she thought she was normal. She was losing touch with the real world and her family, and everything we valued most, our individuality and intelligence, was being stripped from her. Miraculously, however, just when she was about to succumb to her fate, the therapy she had received began to take effect, and she miraculously survived. The nightmare lasted for eight weeks, after which she returned to normal. But there's one thing about her that's different from the others: she remembers exactly what she was thinking and feeling when she was crazy. In the book "Madness and Sanity", Lipska narrated his real experience of madness from the perspective of a patient, and also accurately analyzed his symptoms from the perspective of a brain scientist. She explains how mental illness and brain injury change our personality, behavior, cognition, and memory. She hopes to use her own experience to help the public better understand the brain science principles behind mental illness and the real inner world of patients.
