520 0  Publisher description for Bipolar expeditions : mania and 
       depression in American culture / Emily Martin. Manic 
       behavior holds an undeniable fascination in American 
       culture today. It fuels the plots of best-selling novels 
       and the imagery of MTV videos, is acknowledged as the 
       driving force for successful entrepreneurs like Ted Turner,
       and is celebrated as the source of the creativity of 
       artists like Vincent Van Gogh and movie stars like Robin 
       Williams. Bipolar Expeditions seeks to understand mania's 
       appeal and how it weighs on the lives of Americans 
       diagnosed with manic depression. Anthropologist Emily 
       Martin guides us into the fascinating and sometimes 
       disturbing worlds of mental-health support groups, mood 
       charts, psychiatric rounds, the pharmaceutical industry, 
       and psychotropic drugs. Charting how these worlds 
       intersect with the wider popular culture, she reveals how 
       people living under the description of bipolar disorder 
       are often denied the status of being fully human, even 
       while contemporary America exhibits a powerful affinity 
       for manic behavior. Mania, Martin shows, has come to be 
       regarded as a distant frontier that invites exploration 
       because it seems to offer fame and profits to pioneers, 
       while depression is imagined as something that should be 
       eliminated altogether with the help of drugs. Bipolar 
       Expeditions argues that mania and depression have a 
       cultural life outside the confines of diagnosis, that the 
       experiences of people living with bipolar disorder belong 
       fully to the human condition, and that even the most so-
       called rational everyday practices are intertwined with 
       irrational ones.
