标题: 躁郁之心－－－An unquiet mind [打印本页] 作者: xike 时间: 06-5-11 01:30 标题: 躁郁之心－－－An unquiet mind Prologue
When it`s two o`clock in the morning, and you`re manic, even the UCLA Medical Center has a certain appeal. The hospital----ordinarily a cold clotting of uninteresting buildings----became for me, that fall morning not quite twenty years ago, a focus of my finely wired, exquisitely alert nervous system.. With vibrissae twinging, antennae perked, eyes fast-forwarding and fly faceted, I took in everything around me. I was on the run. Not just on the run but fast and furious on the run, darting back and forth across the hospital parking lot trying to use up a boundless, restless, manic energy. I was running fast, but slowly going mad.
"It stands alone in the literature of manic depression for its bravery, brilliance and beauty."-------Oliver Sacks
它是在文学界中唯一的一本关于躁郁症的书，它是如此勇敢，卓越，美丽

The man I was with, a colleague from the medical school, had stopped running an hour earlier and was, he said impatiently, exhausted. This, to a saner mind, wouldnot have been surprising; the usual distinction between day and night had long since disappeared for the two of us,and the endless hours of scotch, brawling, and fallings about in laughter had taken an obvious, if not final, toll. We should have been sleeping or working, publishing not perishing, reading journals,writing in charts, or drawing tedious scientific graphs that no one would read.

Suddenly a police car pulled up. Even in my less-than-totally-lucid state of mind I could see that officer had his hand on his gun as he got out of the car. “What in the hell are you doing running around the parking lot at this hour?” he asked. A not unreasonable question. My few remaining islets of judgment reached out to one another and linked up long enough to conclude that this particular situation was going to be hard to explain.`My colleague, fortunately was thinking far better than I was and managed to reach down into some deeply intui tive part of his own and the world`s collective unconscious and said,”We`re both on the faculty in the psychiatry department.” The policeman looked at us smiled, went back to his squad car and drove away.
Bing professors of psychiatry explained everything.

Within a month of signing my appointment papers to become an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of California,Los Angeles, I was well on my way to madness; it was 1974,and I was twenty-eight years old. Within three months I was manic beyond recognition and just beginning a long, costly personal war against a medication that I would, in a few years` time, be strongly encouraging others to take. My illness, and my struggles against the drug that ultimately saved my life and restored my sanity, had been years in the making.

For as long as I can remember I was frighteningly, although often wonderfully, beholden to moods. Intensely emotional as a child, mercurial as a young girl, first severely depressed as an adolescent, and then unrelentingly caught up in the cycles of manic-depresive illness by the time I became, both by necessity and intellectual inclination, a student of moods. It has been the only way I know to understand, indeed to accept, the illness I have; it also has been the only way I know to try and make a difference in the lives of others who also suffer from mood disorders. The disease that has, on several occasions, nearly killed me does kill tens of thousands of people every year:most are young; most die unnecessarily; and many are among the most imaginative and gifted that we as a society have.

从我能够记事起,我会有恐慌但大多数时候感觉极佳并相当感激我的情绪带给我的能量. 孩童般的热情好奇, 小女孩的机智善辩, 青年人的极度沮丧, 我被不停的循环着的抑郁狂躁症无情的擢住,直到我成为心理学的学生,这既是我自身的需要也是我兴趣所在. 这是我惟一能做的,去理解和对抗此病而不是仅被动的接受它.这也是我惟一知道能试着让自己和其它同样患着情感障碍疾病的人有所不同生活方式. 这个病数次差点儿让我自杀死去, 而每年都有成千上万的人因此病被夺走他们的生命. 他们大多数年轻的生命毫无理由的逝去, 他们拥有着社会需要的创造力和天赋.作者: cocofu 时间: 06-5-13 00:23

The Chinese believe that before you can conquer a beast you first must make it beautiful. In ome strange way, I have tried to do that with manic-depressive illness. It has been a fascinating, albeit deadly, enemy and companion;I have found it to be seductively complicated, a distillation both of what is finest inour natures, and of what is most dangerous.In order to contend with it, I first had to know it in all of its moods and infinite disguises, understand its real and imagined powers. Beccause my illness seemed at first simply to be an extension of myself----that is to say, of my ordinarily changeable moods, energies, and enthusiasms-----I perhapsgave it at times too much quarter. And, because I thought I ought to be able to handle my increasingly violent mood swings by myself, for the first ten years I did not seek and kond of treatment. Even after my condition became a medical emergency, I still intermitently resisted the medications that both my training and clinical research expertise told me were the only sensible way to deal with the illness I had.
其实真的谢谢你，这本书我一直在找，可是觉得网上太贵了........今天在你这里看到，非常感谢哦！作者: xike 时间: 06-5-21 17:45
