{"product_id":"9781450743792","title":"Curiosity Almost Killed The Cat","description":"This book is a sincere and vivid account of Tina's descent into the world of mental illnesses. She was offered one wrong diagnosis after another: depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar, Asperger's syndrome, and a suspected personality disorder.\u003cp\u003eTina's first hospitalisation resulted from an eating disorder. Doctors prescribed an anti-depressant, but the medication precipitated manic episodes. Life became unbearable, and Tina attempted suicide by jumping in front of an oncoming train.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe miraculously survived uninjured, but continued to struggle with mood swings and was put on more and more unnecessary medications which insinuated a continuous manic-depressive cycle. Tina attempted suicide in the same manner a few months later, suffering a number of broken bones, multiple fractures in her skull, and a liver laceration, as well as a traumatic brain injury that paralysed her left side. She was in hospital for five months, slowly regaining movement and learning how to walk again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTina's book ends with the realisation that no one has a perfect life; rather, it is our struggles that make us stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A Flair for Writing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50015266046192,"sku":"9781450743792","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781450743792","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
