She was going to stab her doctor, but she wrote a book instead. Part memoir of misdiagnosis and part self-help guide, Prozac Monologues is a book within a book, blending Goodfellow’s hypomanic monologues with edgy comedic essays about the bipolar spectrum.

She was going to stab her doctor, but she wrote a book instead. Years later, Willa Goodfellow revisits her account of the antidepressant-induced hypomania that hijacked her Costa Rican vacation and tells the rest of the story: her missed diagnosis of Bipolar 2, how she'd been given the wrong medications, and finally, her process of recovery. Prozac Monologues is a book within a book - part memoir of misdiagnosis and part self-help guide about life on the bipolar spectrum. Through edgy and comedic essays, Goodfellow offers information about a mood disorder frequently mistaken for major depression as well as resources for recovery and further study. Plus, Costa Rica. Û If your depression keeps coming back ... Û If your antidepressant side effects are dreadful ... Û If you are curious about the bipolar spectrum ... Û If you want ideas for recovery from mental illness ... Û If you care for somebody who might have more than depression ... ... This book is for you.

Willa Goodfellow’s early work with troubled teens as an Episcopal priest shaped an edgy perspective and preaching style. A bachelor’s degree from Reed College and a master’s from Yale gave her the intellectual chops to read and comprehend scientific research about mental illness—and her life mileage taught her to recognize and call out the bull. So, she set out to turn her own misbegotten sojourn in the land of antidepressants into a writing career. Her journalism has attracted the attention of leading psychiatrists who worked on the DSM-5. She is certified in Mental Health First Aid, graduated from NAMI’s Peer to Peer, and has presented on mental health recovery at NAMI events and Carver Medical College of Medicine at the University of Iowa. This is her first book. Willa lives in Sisters, Oregon.
