A Second Time Reading A First-Rate Madness by Dr. Nassir Ghaemi

A second read of A First-Rate Madness by Nassir Ghaemi wasn't completed as quickly as planned. The initial reading was inspired by a friend, an avid reader. She heard about the book from her doctor. Before retiring from his practice, the doctor raved about the book. My friend strongly recommended reading the book. Placing trust in her, Dr. Ghaemi's book was purchased and quickly read.

The author didn't include a picture of himself in the book, but what he did was stated. Dr. Ghaemi's resume included being a professor of psychiatry at Tufts University School of Medicine and director of the Mood Disorders Program at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. More details of his work were included, but for the sake of brevity, writing about them in my next post was decided as the best option. 

Expected for my next post: an opinion and more description of A First-Rate Madness and how the book had me, my friend, and my friend's former doctor thinking and feeling. Rating for the book after the first reading? 5 out of 5 stars, A+, and two thumbs ups.
